    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?

        Am I missing the point?

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

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