and he thought it up quick.
...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.
And his fib fooled the child.
Then he patted her head.
And 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.
It was a quarter of dawn,
all the Whos still abed...
...all the Whos still a-snooze...
...when he packed up his sled.
Packed it up with their presents,
their ribbons, their wrappings...
...their snoof and their fuzzels,
their tringlers and trappings.
[SCREAMS]
Ten thousand feet up,
up the side of Mount Crumpit...
...he rode with his load to the tiptop
to dump it.
Pooh-pooh to the Whos.
NARRATOR:
He was Grinch-ily humming.
They're finding out now
that no Christmas is coming.
They're just waking up.
I know just what they'll do.
Their mouths will hang open
a minute or two.
Then the Whos down in Who-ville
will all cry boohoo.
- That's a noise...
- Grinned the Grinch.
...that I simply must hear.
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 HUMMING]
[WHOS SINGING
"WELCOME CHRISTMAS"]
But this sound wasn't sad.
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.
How could it be so?
It came without ribbons.
It came without tags.
It came without packages, boxes or bags.
He puzzled and puzzed
till his puzzler was sore.
Then the Grinch thought of something
he hadn't before.
"Maybe Christmas," he thought,
"doesn't come from a store.
Maybe Christmas, perhaps,
means a little bit more."
And what happened then?
Well, in Who-ville they say...
...that the Grinch's small heart
And then the true meaning of Christmas
came through.
