Dear ,
You are almost as stubborn as I am. No matter where you and Sam I AM went, you still refused to try green eggs and ham, just because they are green. You are so lucky. You got to travel all over the world, from here to there, in a car, on a boat, on a train and even on a plane. Weren't you hungry after traveling so far? I would be. Were you ever so hungry that you were tempted to take just a bite of either the ham or the eggs?
I'm with you. I wouldn't want to eat anything with a goat. They are smelly and make a lot of noise. Once, at the petting zoo, a goat actually started nibbling on my pant legs. But a goat can only nibble. I'd be far more afraid of a fox, especially in a box. I'm a bit claustrophobic as it is. But I'd never set foot in a box with a hungry fox. And in the rain? How did you keep the ham and eggs from getting soggy?
I'm glad you finally decided to taste the green eggs and ham. You found that even though they looked yucky they tested great. As they say, "Don't judge a book by its cover." That's the lesson you learned from your experiences, the theme of your story. I bet you would love to go traveling with Sam I am now that you love green eggs and ham. Just watch out for the goat and especially the fox in a box. Put a plastic bag over your green eggs and ham so they don't get soggy in the raiin. And don't eat to much on the boat--you'll get seasick.
Goodbye for now. Enjoy your green eggs and ham.
Your friend,
Sam Pull
