Context
“"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
And he puzzled three hours, till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store." "Maybe Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!"
And what happened then? Well…in Whoville they say,
That the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day! And the minute his heart didn't feel quite so tight, He whizzed with his load through the bright morning light,” source
