I'm not sure specifically what the 'dill pickle ornament story' is. It could be a story where a dill pickle is used as an ornament in some unique setting, perhaps in a Christmas story where a pickle ornament has a special significance like being the last one to be hung on the tree and bringing good luck to the finder.
It was Zack Ward who took on the role of Grover Dill in A Christmas Story. His acting skills brought the character to life on the screen and left a lasting impression on the audience.
Dill's transformation in the novel is quite notable. At first, he's very impulsive and naive. However, as the plot unfolds, he becomes more empathetic and starts to see the world in a different light. This change is driven by various events and interactions with the other characters.
