What do people do when they tell tall tales?

First when you tell a tall tale you have to have a beginning middle and an end.

You also have to have a setting, plot, and a main character.

Telling a tall tale is stretching the truth for example, if i said i really caught a fish as

small as my hand and i told every one that i caught a fish bigger than a person, or saying, that this person was so tall that he could reach the moon.
