 '''''The Longest Story in the World''''' was the first short story in the [[Short Trips (series)|Short Trips]] anthology ''[[Short Trips and Side Steps]]''. It was written by [[Paul Magrs]]. It featured the [[First Doctor]] and [[Susan Foreman|Susan]].
 == Summary ==
-A young woman, ordered on pain of death to entertain [[Caliph (The Longest Story in the World)|the Caliph]] and his court with a story, tells a tale of an [[First Doctor|old man]] and his adopted [[Susan Foreman|grand-daughter]], who live in a world where fantasy is forbidden. Nevertheless, the grand-daughter tells stories of their future, claiming that the old man will invent a [[TARDIS|fabulous machine]] to take them away from here and travel through [[time]] and [[space]], [[Regeneration|growing younger]] as the years pass by, fighting evil and becoming a hero.
+''to be added''
-The old man does not believe her. He fears that her tales will attract attention - and indeed, one day he returns to his home to find the guards waiting for them. The tale ends on a cliffhanger, and will resume the next night; so long as the storyteller keeps the Caliph entertained, her life will be spared.
