A story about a man who counted the blades of grass in his garden every day. He would start early in the morning and keep going until evening. He even made notes about how many more or less blades there were compared to the previous day. It was a very long and completely useless story.
Often, a long useless story lacks a clear focus or a compelling goal. It might meander without a coherent structure or fail to engage the reader's interest. Sometimes, it's filled with characters or subplots that don't contribute significantly to the main story.
A long useless story can be a form of entertainment in a way. It might not have a big moral or a practical use, but it can be fun to listen to, like a little distraction from the real world.
Maybe you can turn it into a creative writing exercise. For example, you can try to rewrite it in a more concise and interesting way. First, analyze the parts that make it 'useless' like excessive descriptions or unimportant details. Then, keep the core elements and rephrase them to create a new story that has a point. This way, it can be a good practice for improving writing skills.
There was a tree in a forest. It was a very ordinary tree. But there was a squirrel that would come to this tree every day and just sit on one branch. It wouldn't do anything like collect nuts or build a nest. It would just sit there for hours. Sometimes it would chatter to itself for no reason. Other times it would just stare into space. This went on for a long time, and that's the long useless story about this squirrel and the tree.
A boy started collecting pebbles. He had thousands of them in his room. He didn't make any art with them, he didn't use them for any games. He just kept piling them up. His room was full of pebbles, and his parents were constantly asking him to get rid of them, but he wouldn't listen. It was a long and pointless story of his pebble - collecting obsession.
One way is to mine it for vocabulary. There might be some interesting words in that long story that you can learn.
Perhaps there's a 'long nose story' where a wizard has a long nose that has magical powers. He uses his long nose to sniff out hidden treasures or to detect danger. People in the story are both in awe and a bit scared of his long - nosed power.
Sure. There could be a story about a little girl named Skye who likes to ride her bike to the nearby ice - cream parlor. Every day, she would bike down the lane, passing by a field full of wildflowers. The words 'bike' and 'ice' have the long 'i' sound.
Well, consider the story of a talented singer. She had an amazing voice and was on the verge of stardom. But she was in a relationship with a controlling manager. He made her work non - stop, isolated her from her friends and family. Eventually, she lost her passion for singing. Then she had a vocal cord injury which ended her singing career. To make matters worse, she found out that the manager had embezzled all her money. She ended up penniless, alone, and with her dreams shattered. This is a long tragic story of a person's downfall.
Sure. Once there was a man who started to tell about his fishing trip. He began with how he woke up that morning. He described in great detail what he had for breakfast, how he chose his clothes for the day, and then he went on to talk about the drive to the fishing spot. He told about every single turn he took, every song he heard on the radio, and when he finally got to the lake, he started to list all the equipment he took out of his car one by one, before he even started to talk about actually fishing. That's a long winded story.
