Before the Charter came into being, rights and freedoms were protected in Canada by a variety of laws, including the 1960 Bill of Rights.
Green Eggs and Ham was Published in 1957. This book consists of only 50 words because of a bet he had with his publisher. Green Eggs and Ham is basically about this character known as Sam-I-Am pestering an unnamed character who is the narrator of the story, to try his green eggs and ham.
No matter how Sam-I-am presents the green eggs and ham (in a box, with a fox, in the rain, on a train), the curmudgeon refuses to try them. Finally, Sam-I-am's pesky persistence pays off. A crowd of open-mouthed onlookers watch in suspense as the old grouch takes a bite.
