“And what happened then…?Well… in Who-ville they say

That the Grinch’s small heart Grew three sizes that day!

And the minute his heart didn’t feel quite so tight,He whizzed with his load through the bright morning lightAnd he brought back the toys! And the food for the feast!

And he……HE HIMSELF…!

The Grinch carved the roast beast!”
