Story, anecdote (4)
I believe the answer is:
tale
I believe this is a double definition.
'story' is the first definition.
(I know that story can be written as tale)
'anecdote' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for tale that I've seen before include "Yarn or story" , "Anecdotal narrative" , "A story, perhaps out of school" , "Story; lie" , "relation" .)
