Hike ! He cleaned out that iceboxas quick as a flash. Why, that Grinch,he even took theirlast can of Who-hash. Then he stuffed all the foodup the chimney with glee.
And now-- ...grinned the Grinch--
I'll stuff up the tree. And the Grinch grabbed the tree,and he started to shove, when he heard a small soundlike the coo of a dove.
- Excuse me. - Eee ! [ Narrator ]The Grinch had been caughtby this tiny Who daughter... who'd got out of bedfor a cup of cold water.
Santa Claus ? What are you doing with our tree ? [ Narrator ]But, you know,that old Grinch... was so smartand so slick, [ Coughs ] he thought up a lie,and he thought it up quick.
[ Chuckling ] Why, my sweet... little tot. [ Narrator ]The fake Santa Claus lied.
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.
Hee-hee-hee-hee ! Ho-ho-ho-ho !
[ Giggling ] Ho-ho-ho ! Hee-hee !
I'll fix it up there,
and I'll bring it back here.
Santa, what's Christmas really about ?
- Vengeance ! - [ Gasps ]
Er, I mean,
presents,
I suppose.
Hmm.
I was afraid of that. [ Narrator ]And his fib fooled the child. Then he patted her head,and he got her a drink, and he sent her to bed.
Santa ?
What ? Don't forget the Grinch.
I know he's mean and hairy and smelly. His hands might becold and clammy.
But I think he's actually kind of... sweet.
Sweet ?
[ Jingles ] You think he's sweet ?
Merry Christmas, Santa.
Eee ! [ Narrator ]And when Cindy Louwent up with her cup...
Nice kid.
Bad judge of character. he went to the chimneyand stuffed the tree up.
