The default theme Twenty Ten? I coud be wrong because I have never used Twenty Ten, but...
Open loop.php and find this:
<?php the_content(); ?>
Replace it with this:
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
When you make a post, the index page will show an abbreviated version of the post text.
For a better result:
When you finish your main post (in the WP editor), scroll down and enter an abbreviated version into the "Excerpt" field. Your front page will have a brief description, your main post will have the full text and content.
