  1. NOt an animal’s back side but a story, the most pwerful thing a man can do. Tell his tale or tales he has heard, this way we have acheived our greatest entertaihments and rteached some of our most profound thoughts whether o rnot they were right is arguable. These tend to be tall or run on but they tell us things we have not heard and recount things we may not have known about. WHat we do without without tales, where would aur ancestors have gone and what would they have done without them.

  5. a tale is a wonderful thing. It can whisp up air and tell a story. in norwegian it means to speak. Speaking and maybe telling a story :) tale could also be a name, but I prefer to use the word as a story. I have enjoyed writing this story about the word, tale…

  7. I told a tale once about a girl who wasn’t me, but it turned out to truly be me. What was the result? Dishonesty, sneaking, lies, and I caught him. Yeah… I caught him in a lie, because I lied.

  8. Once was a tale of a man who thought he knew everything. He was a strong man, and was very fluent in the art of speaking. He could always use his words to work his way out of things. This man was named Samuel. Samuel E. Philips. Now Sam Philips was not a simple man. He lead a very intriguing lifestyle.

  10. This is the tale of an open minded girl with a broken heart. She betrayed her family to fall in love with the reclusive outcast in her village despite the taboo and the curse placed upon her. This is a tale of modern times, and this is the tale of a boy who was taken away by spirits and the murderous acts of a broken hearted girl against those who would betray her because of her love.

  15. i shall tell a tale to those who will hear it. read it, rather, since i’m typing and now telling. perhaps this is obligitory. did i mispell obligatory? indeed, and misspell, as well. well, back to the tale. so once upon a time a man visited a site on the internet. he wrote about a word for about sixty seconds, succumbing not completely but partially to his free-association tendencies.

  16. once upon a time there was a cat and it had a tail or a tale, either one because they are pronounced the same way i’m pretty sure because i speak english. either way it was long, and either way it was striped gray, which means it was both the neutral non-colour “gray” and also non-descript and kind of boring but it was a good and warm life and it was also furry because that’s what cats have.

  17. The last time i hear a good story i think it made me sad. I get sad when i hear stories because i know they will never exist but in the moment of their telling. How can you love or remember something so fleeting or maybe to love and remember the fleeting is to truly experience it.

  18. A tale is a short story, usually with a relevant theme or moral. Before they were documented in written word, these were passed down verbally through generations. Often the stories of ancient heroes were passed down in tales.

  21. Many people tell them. Some of them are good, some of them are so bad you have to cover your ears to keep them from bleeding. There are long ones and there are short ones. The long ones with little lessons in them are the best but some of the short ones can be good too.

  22. A tale of a man dressed in black… white pinstripes and a cockeyed hat.

  23. I could tell the tale of my live. I could tell you what that tale means to me. I could even tell you the secrets of that tale that no one should ever know. I could, in fact tell tales. But no, I will tell you nothing of my life. I will just tell you that I have a tale that would put all tales to shame.

  24. I told a tale about the tales of those of old.
    To tell a tale I must admit I know not what was told. If I tell you this tale, please understand that this tale will tell you what I’ve gone through in my life. If this does not reach the end, I guess it’s not a tale at all.

  25. I have a tale to tell you about. One day I was walking at a very brisk past & came upon a most beautiful sight. It was a lovely doe standing by the edge of a woody space next to our house. It first looked startled to see me…then it seemed to want to come closer. At first I was also a little startled & didn’t know what to do so I stood very still & let it come closer. It seemed to want to communicate with me in some way. When it got almost to me, it stopped & turned & looked back & turned & started walking in the direction it came from, turning every so often to see, I feel, if I was following. I did & when we got to the edge of the woody space again I saw the most beautiful buck that needed my help. I started toward it & saw what the problem was. It was standing in a hole & had hurt it’s foot. I gently helped him out of the hole & after standing for a few minutes. The doe & buck went happily on their way & turned & looked at me with the most awesome look of gratude you have ever seen. It made my day!!

  29. it’s a tale of cities, of towns, of people, of heart wrenching dramas that defy any sane train of expression. long or short, a point is just the tip of an arrow that pierces the lungs like two packs of smokes in a day

  31. fairy tales have changed my life. sinc ei w as a kid, the idea of the charming preince in the beutiful white horse made me day dream forn years. now as a teeneager, i realize that fairy tales are great and beautiful, but not useful in real life. to grow up, we have to forget about princesses and fairies, and just live as we know real life really is

  32. Hundreds of tales about a fairy princess and a handsome prince are in existence. Of course, these “tales” are often ludicrously absurd and fanciful. But whose to say that such tales couldn’t actually come true? In a day of Prozac and overmedication, why not?

  38. tales are stories, you don’t choose them, they come. you stumble upon them and then they’re gone before you even knew they were there. sometimes you’ll think about them again and there was a lesson, something you needed to learn and something that helped shape who you are at the moment that you remember it. they’re there for your story,the story of your life that you will share with your children and grandchildren years later.

  39. Tales these days are so contrived. One is hard pressed to find anything with the originality and beauty that was once so prevolent in the telling of these small masterpieces… What are we to do?

  40. a tale is a story of any kind, usually fictional. a tale is often a folk story or legend of some kind. tale rhymes with fail. tale is a homophone for tail. they’re both pronounced the same way. tale starts with a t and ends with an e. tale is a four letter word, like “shit”.
