How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Part 2

Authors Note: I wrote this piece because, I just watched the Grinch and it gave me the idea. I tried to work on dialog in this piece.

You've all heard the story of the nasty old Grinch who lived Mt. Crumpit which is just south of Whoville. Every Christmas all the whos in Whoville gathered around the tree that stood tall in the middle of Whoville and sang their Christmas Carols. The Grinch hated the singing and the Christmas spirit so much. One day the Grinch got a wonderful, awful idea. The night before Christmas the Grinch stole all of the presents, decorations, and the tree in the middle of Whoville. When the Whos woke up Christmas morning the singing didn't stop, they still gathered in the middle of Whoville and sang their who songs. The Grinch heard the whos singing up from his cave in his mountain and started to get awfully confused.

"Why are they still singing? I stole Christmas from them," the Grinch said. He didn't know but the answer was simple, Christmas to the whos was not about presents it was about family and friends. The began feeling an awful guilt in his chest. The pain was so bad he had to give the gifts back. He grabbed his old sleigh and put on his Santa hat and rode down to Whoville.

"Ho Ho Ho," laughed the Grinch, "Ho Ho Ho." 

"Look here comes Santa," a little Who cheered.

"Oh no that's the Grinch," said another as he looked. The rest of the whos followed with a gasp. The grinch was more confused than ever. 

The Grinch explained himself, " I brought back Christmas!"

"Yay!" The Whos shouted.

"Here's a tuba for you, and a doll for you, and here's your skateboard," said the Grinch cheerfully as he handed out the presents. The Grinch did a bad thing stealing Christmas, but when he brought it back the Whos thanked him, and even let him carve the roast beef. Although that story was good, it's not complete. Here's the story of the Grinch after the fact. 

After Christmas the Grinch went back to his cave in Mt. Crumpit. He still liked it there, but was feeling lonelier than ever. 

"I've got to go back," he said to his dog Max, "if only I had money for a house." The Grinch thought for days on how to buy a house down in Whoville, but couldn't come up with anything. The Grinch finally decided to go down to Whoville and ask for some advice. He put on his jacket and his dog Max and headed to Whoville. 

The Grinch asked a Who, "What can I do? I live on Mt. Crumpit, but I want to live here with you. How do I get enough money for a house?" But the Who didn't answer he simply walked away. Then the Grinch decided to ask another Who, but the new who didn't know what to do. None of the whos or the Grinch new what to do. The Grinch gave up and sat on a park bench and thought how he could buy a house. As the Grinch sat he began to get an idea; a terrible, awful idea.  

The Grinch popped up, off the park bench and began to start walking towards the closest who house. When he got there he snuck up to the roof and slid down the chimney down into the house. He crept around the house for every bit of money. He grabbed it from dressers, side tables, and even little Sidney Loo Who's piggy bank. After sweeping the cash from the Who's house, the Grinch had $73 to his name. He went from house to house steeling their money until not one who had a dollar. The Grinch finally had enough money to buy a house, but the rest of the Whos didn't have enough money to keep living in theirs. A couple weeks passed and when the Grinch was living in his new house, the bank was taking all of the who houses. Who by Who by Who was kicked out of their house and on to the street. The Grinch started feeling guilty. One day a Who wandered by the Grinch. He has his head down and was looking sad.

"Is your house gone?" the Grinch stopped the Who.

"Yes sir, and I have nothing to do," the Who replied.

"Okay then, come live in my house. You have nowhere to go, and I love to help," said the Grinch.

"Really? I really can?" questioned the Who.

"Of course come with me," the Grinch answered. And the who followed him into his new house. It seemed like from then on out there would be a new who living in his house everyday. The whos all loved the Grinch for letting them into his house. Even though the Grinch keeps messing up he always finds a way to fix it. You should just
