The beginning of a story: I read such an ... story

I read such an instructive story yesterday. A young father asked an elderly neighbor how strict parents should be with their children. The old man pointed to a rope between a big tree and a young one. ...

Is 'I read such an instructive story yesterday' fine to be the beginning of a story, especially about the use of 'such'?

Thank you in advance.

It's grammatical, but awkward. I wouldn't use it.
What do you think of:
I read a very instructive story yesterday.
