  You can create one section called `events` with the different [entryTypes](https://craftcms.com/docs/sections-and-entries#entry-types) `small` and `big`.
  
  You'll fetch all events with
  
  ```
  craft.entries.section('events')
  
  ```
  
  when you want to fetch only small events you'll do
  
  ```
  craft.entries.section('events').type('small')
  
  ```
  
  and the same for the big one.
  
  However you can call entries from multiple sections too
  
  ```
  craft.entries.section(['smallEvents', 'bigEvents'])
  
  ```
  
  I suggest you to read the [docs](https://craftcms.com/docs/templating/craft.entries) these [Cheet Sheets](https://straightupcraft.com/articles/cheat-sheet-craft.entries) are a good place to learn templating too
