An anecdote is a very short story that illustrates a point. The word came about from Procopius of Caesarea. He produced Anekdota, which is mainly a collection of short stories from the life of the Byzantine court. Over time anecdote began to be used for what it means today. An example of an anecdote would be the story of George Washington cutting down the cherry tree. The point of the story is to always tell the truth. Another example is “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.” The moral of that story is to never tell a lie.
