The character named "Sam-I-am" interrupts an unnamed character to try a dish of eggs and green ham. The unnamed figure refused, replying, "I do not like green eggs and ham, I do not like them, Sam-I-am." He kept repeating this as Sam constantly followed him, asking him to try it in eight locations (house, box, car, tree, train, dark, rain, boat) and with three animals (rats, foxes, and goats). Finally, he gives Sam a nuisance and tries the green eggs and ham, which he likes after all and gladly replied, "I do it like green egg and ham Thank you, thank you, Sam-me-me."
