I am Sam

Sam-I-Am persistently badgered a grumpy skeptic to try a strange dish. He offered it in a box, with a fox, on a boat, and with a goat, but the individual refused because the food looked unappealing. Cornered and totally exhausted, they finally took a bite just to make Sam shut up, only to find they absolutely loved it. Sometimes you just have to step out of your comfort zone and try new things.

However, that story was written for comic relief before “no means no” became the standard. Today, people also have to learn to respect other people’s boundaries.
