Once upon a time, there was a mean, green creature named the Grinch who lived in a cave high in the mountains. The Grinch was a grouchy and grumpy creature who hated Christmas and everything that came with it, including the holiday music, the presents, and especially the laughter and joy of children.
One day, the Grinch decided to steal Christmas from the town of Whoville, where all the happy Whos lived. He devised a plan to sneak into Whoville and steal all the presents, decorations, and holiday cheer.
