Short

Once upon a time, there was a writer named Lucy who loved to use big words and lengthy sentences in her articles. One day, she was given the task to write a short news article about a major event happening in the city.

Lucy struggled to write a brief article because she was used to writing long and descriptive ones. As she was brainstorming ideas, she stumbled upon a crossword puzzle and came across the clue “Short“. Suddenly, she had an epiphany and realized that in order to write a concise article, she needed to be “TERSE“.

Lucy quickly looked up the word and learned that it meant to be brief and to the point. She also found that it was a synonym for the word “short” which was the crossword clue she was stuck on.

Feeling inspired, Lucy used the word “TERSE” as a guiding principle and was able to write an excellent article that was short, informative, and captivating. From that moment on, whenever she needed to write something brief and concise, she would remember the crossword clue “Short” and its answer “TERSE”.
