In Defence of the Grinch.
Listen up, people. I’ve got a lot to say to you and not much time to say it, so let’s get started.
Most fellas around here just LOATHE the Grinch, at least before his heart had a growth spurt.
“Who is he,” they say, “to lie, cheat, and steal, all because he was jealous?” Well, let me ask
you this, who are YOU to go hating on him? Sure, maybe dumping all the Whos’ presents off
the side of Mt. Crumpit was a bit overkill, but if he could hear the Whos singing all the way
from his mountain, I think he had a right to be annoyed, don’t you think? And don’t even get
me started on how lonely he must have been. He’s a green, shriveled-up beast who lived
right above the happiest town there ever was, and every year a merry festival went on
below him while he froze in his cave. Did the Whos ever once invite him? Huh? Did they
even care about him before he carved the roast beast? I DON’T THINK SO! With all that said,
I hope next time you read “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, you’ll understand his motives. I
rest my case.
