“The Grinch hated Christmas—the whole Christmas season.
Oh, please don't ask why, no one quite knows the reason.
It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight.
It could be his head wasn't screwed on just right.
But I think that the most likely reason of all...may have been that his heart was 2 sizes too small.”

Narrator: ...he was grinchily humming.

“Narrator: As the Grinch took the tree, as he started to shove, he heard a small sound like the coo of a dove. He turned around fast, and he saw a small Who. Little Cindy Lou Who, who was no more than two. She stared at the Grinch and said...

Cindy Lou Who: Santie Claus, why? Why are you taking our Christmas tree? Why?

Narrator: But do you know, that old Grinch was so smart and so slick, that he thought up a lie and he thought it up quick.

Grinch: Why my sweet little tot...

Narrator: The fake Santie Claus lied...

Grinch: ...there's a light on this tree that won't light on one side. So I'm taking it home to my workshop, my dear. I'll fix it up there, then I'll bring it back here.

Narrator: And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head, he got her a drink, and he sent her to bed. And when Cindy Lou Who was in bed with her cup, he crupt to the chimney and stuffed the tree up. Then he went up the chimney himself, the old liar, and the last thing he took was the log for their fire. On their walls, he left nothing but hooks and some wire. And the one speck of food that he left in the house was a crumb that was even too small for a mouse. Then he did the same thing to the other Whos' houses: leaving crumbs much too small for the other Whos' mouses!”

That's a noise…

Narrator: The Grinch said.

Grinch: …That I simply must hear!

Narrator: So he paused… and the Grinch put a hand to his ear.
And he did hear a sound rising over the snow.
It started in low… then it started to grow.

Whos: [singing] Fah who foraze.
Dah who doraze.
Welcome, Christmas, come this way.
Fah who foraze.
Dah who doraze.
Welcome, Christmas, come this way.
Welcome, welcome.
Fah who rahmus.
Welcome, welcome.
Dah who dahmus.
Christmas Day is in our grasp, so long as…

Narrator: But this...This sound wasn't sad. Why… this sound sounded glad! [Whos still singing] Every Who down in Who-ville, the tall and the small...was singing...without any presents at all! He hadn't stopped Christmas from coming! It came! Somehow or other… it came just the same! And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling.

Grinch: How could it be so? [grabs Max] It came without ribbons…
It came without tags…
It came without packages, boxes or bags.”

“Grinch: All I need is a reindeer!

Narrator: The Grinch looked around, but since reindeer are scarce, there was none to be found. Did that stop the Grinch? Ha! The Grinch simply said...

Grinch: If I can't find a reindeer, I'll make one instead.

Narrator: So he took his dog Max, and he took some black thread, and he tied a big horn on the top of his head.”

“Narrator: Then he slid down the chimney. A rather tight pinch, but if Santa could do it, then so could the Grinch. He got stuck only once for a minute or two, then he stuck his head out of the fireplace flue where the little Who stockings were hung all in a row.

Grinch: These stockings...

Narrator: He grinched...

Grinch: ...are the first things to go!”
