There once lived an old man who was called Gasper Grinch, mean and green even as a child. He lived alone in the woods in a gorgeous wooden house and had a field that gave him a lot of crop produce. He had electricity but didn't engage in electronics and media. He had man's best friend, his dog but was a true loner, with his self sufficiency vegetarian and pessimistic attitude. He especially hated the holidays and couldn't stand seeing people happy. Until one day when he was walking home late at night he was approached by a weird looking lady, who seemed a little bit queer. When she tried to talk to him he insulted her with mean remarks, so she cursed him with sadness and he would never experience happiness. Time flew by and he grew older,when his dog died he became meaner and got German shepherd dogs to become the villain of the city. He would steal gifts from birthdays, weddings, parties and holidays. He was very notorious thief and was not easily caught, however just like any robber his days were numbered. On the eve of that year as he was lurking and stealing gifts from Christmas trees he decided to go to a children's' home and unlucky for him the children were awake and he heard them singing symphonies of the holidays and it took him back to when he was young and he hated these happy moments he got so nostalgic that he became happy and smiled for the first time in a long time. He decided to join them and singing along as he was in a good mood and felt happy because all he could think of were his old days. But the children saw his face and screamed for help they scrambled for help because he was the most wanted thief. He felt bad and decide to give the kids some of the gifts he had stolen, the children were happy and the witch reappeared to him, since he had made other people happy his curse was broken. He was so happy and learned a lesson that what you give is what you get. When he felt happy towards others he reciprocated by giving them gifts to make them happy. So be mindful of your actions and dont be a mean grinch, lest you receive exactly what you give.
