- One day
- Sam came over with a plate of strange food
- on the plate were green eggs and green ham
- he asked another person
- would you like to try
- The person frowned and said
- no
- I do not like green eggs and ham
- Sam didn't give up
- he followed the person into a house
- holding up the plate he asked
- would you eat them in a house
- the person shook his head and said
- I would not eat them in a house
- Sam asked again
- would you eat them in a house with a mouse
- the person said
- I would not eat them in a house with a mouse

- the person said
- I would not eat them in a box
- Sam asked again
- would you eat them in a box with a fox
- the person said
- I would not eat them in a box with a fox
- Sam still didn't give up
- he followed the person into a car
- and asked
- would you eat them in a car
- the person said
- I would not eat them in a car
- Sam asked again
- would you eat them in a car with a goat
- the person said
- I would not eat them in a car with a goat

- The person finally couldn't take it anymore
- he shouted

- if you let me be
- I will try
- Sam handed him the plate
- the person picked up a fork
- speared a piece of green egg
- put it in his mouth

- and suddenly his eyes went wide
- he took another bite of ham
- and a surprised look appeared on his face
- He said loudly
- I like green eggs and ham
- I like them in a house
- I like them with a mouse
- I like them in a box
- I like them with a fox
- I like them in a car
- I like them with a goat
- I like them in a tree
- I like them on a train
- I like them in the dark
- I like them on a boat
- It turns out
- some things
- you have to try to know how good they are
- We always say no
- no
- no
- but sometimes
- the thing that makes us frown
- can bring us surprises
- Dr. Seuss used fifty words to tell us
- don't be so quick to say no
- give it a try first
- maybe
- you'll discover a whole new world
