"Ha, Ha!" he
laughed loudly
,
before he
emptied
his
truck
.
"The soldiers at Camp
Who-ville won't believe their
bad luck
!
"They'll see all the stuff
that's
gone
from their
shop
,
"And finally they'll know
that this
PM must stop
!"
So he paused. And
private Grinch put a
hand
to his
brow
,
As he peered
down below
to see what
happened now
.
He stared at Camp
Who-ville. What he
saw
popped his eyes
!
Then he
shook
! What he saw
was a
shocking surprise
!
Every soldier in Camp Who-
ville, the
tall
and the
small
,
Was working!
Without
any
equipment
at
all
!
He hadn't stopped PM from
coming.
It came
!
Somehow or other, it came
just the same
!
private Grinch, with his
feet
ice-cold
in the
snow
,
Stood wondering and puzzling:
"How could it be
so
?
It came without lube
orders! It came without
pliers
!
"It came without TM
s
,
grease guns or
tires
!"
And he puzzled for a
while
,
then he puzzled
some more
.
Then private Grinch thought of
something
he hadn't
before
!
"Maybe," he thought,
"There's just no way to
win
.
maybe
the
desire
for
pm
comes from
within
!
And what happened
then
...? Well in Camp
Who-ville they
say
,
That private Grinch's
understanding of PM
Grew three sizes
that
day
!
