How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Title

Reading Text

The Grinch lived in a cold cave on a mountain. He had a very small heart and he hated Christmas. He wanted to stop Christmas from coming to the town of Whoville. On Christmas Eve, he dressed up as Santa Claus. He went to the town and stole all the presents, food, and decorations. He took them to the top of the mountain. He waited to hear the people cry. But the people did not cry. They stood together and sang happy songs. The Grinch understood that Christmas is about love, not presents. His heart grew bigger. He returned all the gifts and joined the feast.
