<b>Exercise 1:</b>
* In modern English, we owe many words to William Shakespeare, who alone invented over 2000 words in the English literature.▼
* The file "popularWords.txt" lists some popular words that we still use today that were invented by Shakespeare (bet you didn't know that!). Each word originates from at least one of his plays. Can you find the play(s) where each word originated? ▼
* You can save the <b>popular word</b> and <b> the play it comes from </b> as a <b>key:value</b> pair in a dictionary. (remember that value does not have to be a number, it could be arbitrary data structure, i.e. it could be a string or a list of strings)▼

<b>Exercise
