Dr. Seuss, whose real name is Theodore Geisel, is a famous book writer. He wrote children stories such as The cat in the hat, Green eggs and ham, and many others. However, what was the real story behind his children stories? For example, the story green eggs and ham was made off a bet. Dr. Seuss' editor bet him that he would not be able to create a story that had 50 words or less. However, Dr. Seuss was able to, and created the story green eggs and ham using exactly 50 words. The fifty words are a, am, and, anywhere, are, be, boat, box, car, could, dark, do, eat, eggs, fox, goat, good, green, ham, here, house, I, if, in, let, like, may, me, mouse, not, on, or, rain, Sam, say, see, so, thank, that, the, them, there, they, train, tree, try, will, with, would, and you. Quite an accomplishment to have made an awesome book that only used 50 words, and I always loved green eggs and ham.

That's really interesting! i never knew that his books were written in a precise amount of words like that! I guess i never thought about there being another meaning behind what he wrote, I always just assumed they were pointless rhyming stories that amussed children.
