It would cut out certain details and be significantly shorter than the original text.

When an article, story, play, or poem is retold or summarized, one thing that would most likely happen is to significantly shorten the story by cutting out certain unnecessary details such as the names of places and other trivial information. You would want to avoid using identical language as the original, too, in an effort to condense the retelling of the story. Additionally, by including only central ideas, plot and theme would be omitted as a result, which are vital components of any type of story to include when retelling.
