I don't honestly remember. It was likely a collection of Shakespeare's sonnets or a short story by Mark Twain. Those were certainly among the very first.

It would have been on a PC/xt 286 class machine with my then new NEC CD drive and a World Library CD around 1991-2. I didn't go portable until I got an HP 320LX (WinCE v1.0) around '97.
