Then there's the story of a fisherman who caught a very rare fish and instead of selling it, he released it back into the water. And an anecdote about a group of friends who went camping and had a spooky encounter with what they thought was a ghost in the woods.
Definitely. Classification can be by the use of symbolism. If a short story heavily uses certain symbols, it can be grouped with others that do the same. For example, stories where a red rose is a symbol of love. By the tone as well. A sarcastic - toned short story is different from a sincere - toned one. Also, according to the level of complexity. There are simple short stories that are easy to understand and complex ones that require more in - depth thinking.

Sure. One short erratic story could be: A cat suddenly decided to chase its own tail in the middle of the living room, spun around and around until it got dizzy and then just lay down as if nothing had happened. Another could be: A man was walking down the street, saw a bright red balloon floating towards him, and as he reached out to touch it, it popped for no apparent reason.
Yes. 'The Good Samaritan' is a great parable short story. It tells of a man who is robbed and left for dead on the side of the road. A priest and a Levite pass by without helping, but a Samaritan, who was from a group despised by the Jews, stops and takes care of the injured man. This story teaches about kindness and not being prejudiced. Also, 'The Prodigal Son' is a parable. A young man asks for his inheritance early, squanders it, but when he returns home, his father welcomes him back with open arms, showing forgiveness.
Sure. One example could be a story where a student has a shortfall in study materials. He can't afford all the textbooks he needs, so he has to rely on borrowing from the library and sharing with classmates. This shortfall then becomes a challenge he has to overcome to succeed in his studies.
Another one could be 'L' for Lamp. In a dark room, there is an old lamp. A young girl discovers it and when she rubs it, a genie appears. The genie grants her three wishes. This short story uses the letter 'L' as the starting point for the story's key element.
Take the short story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'. One short cut we can get from it is the importance of honesty. If you lie all the time, people won't believe you when you really need help.

Sure. Consider a short max story where a little boy finds a coin on the street. He decides to use it to buy a flower for his mother. When he gives it to her, her smile is so bright that it makes his day. It's short, but it shows the boy's love for his mother. Also, many horror short max stories exist. For example, 'She heard a noise in the attic. She went to check. It was silent. Then a hand grabbed her.' These stories rely on creating an immediate impact and leaving the rest to the reader's imagination.

Well, a picture of a wilted flower in a vase on a dusty table can be a picture that says short stories. It could suggest a story of neglect, like someone was once taking care of the flower but then something happened, and they stopped. Or it could symbolize the passage of time and the fading of beauty. Also, a picture of a dog waiting outside a closed door with a hopeful look can tell a story. Maybe it's waiting for its owner to come home from a long trip.
