Tall tales are stories with elements that make no sense that are told as if they were true. Some tall tales are exaggerations of true events, however. Others can be made up entirely, and set in a setting that makes sense to the reader. The event is, many times, told in such a way that makes the person telling the story seem to be a part of it. The tone of the story is generally friendly.
