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: That's a noise... Narrator: Grinned the Grinch... 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.

Narrator: Whatever the reason, his heart or his shoes, he stood there on Christmas Eve, hating the Whos. Staring down from his cave with a sour, grinchy frown, at the warm, lighted windows below in their town. For he knew every Who down in Whoville beneath, was busy now, hanging a holly Who-wreath.…

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:…

Then he slunk to the ice box. He took the Whos' feast, he took the who pudding, he took the roast beast. He cleaned out that ice box as quick as a flash. Why, the Grinch even took their last can of Who hash.

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 C…

And he, he himself...the Grinch...carved the roast-beast!
And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags.
