Best Answer

Examples of tall tales include stories about larger-than-life characters like Paul Bunyan and Pecos Bill, who perform exaggerated feats such as carving out the Grand Canyon or using a tornado as a lasso. These tales are often humorous and involve incredible exaggerations or unlikely situations.

A Tall Tale is a folk tale, usually told about a real person, but exaggerated beyond belief. An example of a Tall Tale would be the story of how The Great Lakes of North America were created by Paul Bunyan as a watering hole for his ox, Babe. Or that the 10,000 lakes of Minnesota were made by their footprints as they wandered blindly in a Blizzard. Or maybe even the time he needed to put out his campfire, and so piled rocks on it, creating Mt. Hood. Those are "Tall Tales".
