Biography[]
Book[]
Sam first appears at the beginning of the book introducing himself, whilst [unintentionally] annoying Guy-Am-I. He then tries to offer him "Green Eggs and Ham", to which Guy tells him that he hates it, stating "I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them Sam-I-Am".
Sam then goes to great measures in trying to convince Guy to eat the dish, suggest if he would like to eat them in various locations (such as in a house, in a box, in a car, in a tree, on a train, in the dark, in the rain, and on a boat) as well as with various individuals (such as with a mouse, a fox, and a goat). Each time, Guy continues to refuse, growing angrier each time and repeating everything Sam suggested.
Eventually, after the train crashes the boat, Sam and Guy get themselves trapped on an isolated island alongside everyone Sam suggested Guy should eat with. Guy, feeling defeated, tells Sam that if he tries "Green Eggs and Ham" that Sam will "let him be" to which Sam agrees. Guy then eats the dish, and to his surprise, enjoys it, stating "I do so like green eggs and ham. Thank you, thank you, Sam-I-Am."
