    Yes, it’s an abridgement of the most mundane 6 word story:

    For sale: baby shoes, too small.

      But how is this a sad story? Babies grow so fast that they easily can skip a size… Am I missing the point?

      And, wouldn’t this be the real sad story? “For sale, baby shoes, too big”

      Implying that the baby died before it could grow into said shoes?

        It’s decidedly not sad – I specifically said it was the most mundane 6 word story.

        Am I missing the point?

        Yes, a little. The original was: For sale, baby shoes, never worn.
