Up Goer Five is an XKCD comic in which the author, Randall Munroe, describes the Saturn 5 rocket using only the thousand most commonly used words in the English language. Amusingly, “thousand” isn’t one of them, so he has to say “ten hundred.”

(He later expanded this concept into a book called Thing Explainer, which is amazing and which makes an outstanding gift for the precocious child on your holiday shopping list.) www.amazon.com/dp/0544668251
