Explanation:
The story Pecos Bill exhibits the characteristics of a tall tale because the things that Pecos Bill and Sluefoot Sue did are more than what ordinary men can do. Bill dug up the Rio Grande to keep out a group of Mexican bandits from entering Texas. When Bill met Sluefoot Sue, she was riding on a giant catfish. Also, Sluefoot Sue was able to rope six steers with one throw of her lasso. When Bill and Sluefoot Sue had their first kiss, Bill was so excited he started shooting into the air and when he finished, there was only one star left in the sky. This is why Texas is known as the "Lone Star" state.
