Maybe Christmas, the Grinch thought, doesn't come from a store.

Maybe Christmas, he [the Grinch] thought, doesn't come from a store.

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

Christmas will always be as long as we stand heart to heart and hand in hand.

And the turtles, of course... All the turtles are free- As turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.

I've heard there are troubles of more than one kind; some come from ahead, and some come from behind. But I've brought a big bat. I'm all ready, you see; now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
