I would not, could not, not on a bet!

Did you know?

Bennett Cerf, Dr. Seuss’ editor, bet him that he couldn’t write a book using 50 words or less. “The Cat in the Hat” was pretty simple, after all, and it used 225 words. Not one to back down from a challenge, Mr. Geisel started writing and came up with “Green Eggs and Ham” — which uses exactly 50 words.

The 50 words, by the way, 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, you.

Wow! That is complete useless useful information, I am impressed.

If they use that in Jeopardy I am going to make a killing!

Thanks.

(hope the joke came off)

I'm going to give that a shot, a story from just those.

I was not aware that the format had those limitations.

First, break down into nouns, verbs, pronouns.. a fun puzzle!
