For sale: baby shoes, never worn

Rare card · No. 73961

"For sale: baby shoes, never worn." is a six-word story. Versions of the story date back to the early 1900s, and it was being reproduced and expanded upon within a few years of its initial publication. The story is popularly misattributed to Ernest Hemingway; this is implausible, as versions of the story first appeared in 1906, when Hemingway was 7 years old, and it was first attributed to him in 1989, almost 30 years after his death.
