Once there was a young girl in China. On her birthday, her parents had promised to be home early to celebrate with her. But they both got caught up in their work. She waited all day long, with a cake she made by herself. As the night fell, she blew out the candles alone, feeling so sad and lonely.
A 'doleful story' can also be used instead of a sad story. The word 'doleful' has a connotation of sadness and grief. It makes you think of something that is mournful or depressing. For example, a story about a character who has lost everything - their family, their home, and their hope - can be described as a doleful story.

She searched everywhere, screaming her baby's name. But she could never find her baby again. Aisha was left alone, broken, and with a hole in her heart that could never be filled. She was constantly haunted by the last sight of her baby and the fear of what might have happened to it.
