You should have your own personal stories and reasons to honor your parents. If you don't, it won't be sincere.

One of the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses on the mountaintop is Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12)
Honoring your father and mother is among the most basic and simple principles and truths stated in the bible. You honor God by honoring your parents; it is also an act of worship that pleases the very heart of the Lord. How can we expect to be honorable, have integrity, be prosperous, have our own children honor us if we write off or refuse to honor our parents.
Honoring your mother and father is a principle that cannot be ignored, pushed aside, or made light of. While there are many people who suffer the consequences of an abusive parent or parents, God's will is still for us to honor our mom and dad. That DOES NOT mean that the abusive parent or parents are going to get away with it. God IS going to deal with them.
What I am talking about here is not always fun or easy. Sometimes honoring mom and dad is a daily struggle. A struggle that needs to be taken to the foot of the cross. Many things that are worthwhile, and mandated by the Lord Jesus Christ, are not easy to accept and/or put into practice.
With prayer, submission to God, a genuine desire to do His will, honoring your father and your mother becomes easier, life changing, and literally an act of worship and honor unto the Lord Jesus Christ.

When Nephi broke his bow, he went to Lehi to ask him where he should go hunting for food. Nephi did this out of respect for his father as the leader of the family. Nephi did successfully find food and feed his family.
Is this the kind of story you're looking for? You can also probably find modern examples in past issues of the New Era on lds.org.

if you honor your parents then you should have no problem coming up with your own short story.

Go through your new era and friend magazines. ive used many a story from them in church talks. Not a mormon anymore though, but if it's what you believe then good on you.
