Can someone help me understand what this quotation means?

Question

"A story must be exceptional enough to justify its telling; it must have something more unusual to relate then the ordinary experience of every average man and woman."

Answer 1

I think it means a story must be unusual just to relate to peoples life's. Well, I'm not too good with these things.

Answer 2

In other words, dont tell a story that is blantently obvious and is something that everyone can relate to.
