A Story Short was the only episode of The StoryTeller that focused on the Storyteller as the main character. In it, the Storyteller was to tell a king 365 different stories each day of the year, or be boiled by a cook. On the final day, with no story, a mysterious beggar gives him a story he will never forget.
