It is as follows:
"For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn."
by Ernest Hemmigway
This anecdote appeared in the 1996 play "Papa" about Ernest Hemingway, written by John deGroot, and its authenticity has remained unverified. According to the tale, Hemingway was having lunch at the Algonquin, a famous group of New York City writers and intellectuals, when he claimed he could write a story in just six words. The others didn't think it was possible and agreed to cough up ten dollars each if he lived up to his claims. Hemingway then scribbled six words on a napkin - "For Sale. Baby Shoes. Never Worn." and purportedly won the bet.
Hemingway won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.
