Short stories - Is that the easy way to whrite?

Short stories, never thought mush about it, i have no idea what it is in a way, i google it and found some websites.

This one is is ok, you will find a lot of short stories, but not many of them interest me.
And of course wikipedia comes up- like always when you google something.
Here is one I like - the website has a lot of short stories and folktale, and they are interesting, I have to put this one here for you, it has a good meaning. 

The Purse of Gold

A Jewish Folktale
A beggar found a leather purse that someone had dropped in the marketplace. Opening it, he discovered that it contained 100 pieces of gold. Then he heard a merchant shout, "A reward! A reward to the one who finds my leather purse!"
Being an honest man, the beggar came forward and handed the purse to the merchant saying, "Here is your purse. May I have the reward now?"
"Reward?" scoffed the merchant, greedily counting his gold. "Why the purse I dropped had 200 pieces of gold in it. You've already stolen more than the reward! Go away or I'll tell the police."
"I'm an honest man," said the beggar defiantly. "Let us take this matter to the court."
In court the judge patiently listened to both sides of the story and said, "I believe you both. Justice is possible! Merchant, you stated that the purse you lost contained 200 pieces of gold. Well, that's a considerable cost. But, the purse this beggar found had only 100 pieces of gold. Therefore, it couldn't be the one you lost."
And, with that, the judge gave the purse and all the gold to the beggar.

 To write an essay originally meant to explore or try out ideas.
A true essay is a try, a journey of discovery for reader and writer.

Begin by brainstorming. Brainstorming doesn't involve writing complete sentences or paragraphs. Brainstorming involves coming up with ideas in words or short phrases.

• Main idea for your essay
  Write down the main idea of your essay. To express your main idea, write only a few words.
  
  
• Brainstorming “for” your main idea
  Write a word or a phrase that relates to your main idea. This should be something about your main idea that you agree with.

An essay is a short piece of writing which is often written from an author's personal point of view. Essays can consist of a number of elements, including: literary criticism, political manifestos, learned arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author.
