Quote context

[...]

- Christmas day is in our grasp...

- But this... this sound wasn't sad. Why, this sound sounded glad.

- 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 grew three sizes that day.

- And then the true meaning of Christmas came through. and the Grinch found the strength of 10 Grinches plus two.

- And now that his heart didn't feel quite so tight, he whizzed with his load through the bright morning light.

Why, for 53 years, I've put up with it now.
