In 'tall tales and short stories', the tall tales are the ones that are larger - than - life. They can be about heroes who do the impossible, like a lumberjack cutting down an entire forest in a day. They're meant to entertain and amaze. Short stories, though, are more about the art of concise storytelling. They can range from simple slice - of - life tales to complex psychological portraits. They might explore the human condition in just a few pages, while tall tales are more about creating a sense of wonder through extreme exaggeration.
