2. The grinch who stole christmas Every Who Down in Who-ville Liked Christmas a lot... But the Grinch, Who lived just North of Who-ville, Did NOT! The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season! Now, please don't ask why. No one quite knows the reason. It could be that his head wasn't screwed on quite right. It could be, perhaps, that his shoes were too tight. But I think that the most likely reason of all May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

6. My Sonnet Basketball players are ready for their game. They shoot and dribble it for every point. All of the players are looking for the pride and fame. Every single fan is jumping around. Coaches make up the play for their offense. They run the play so perfectly. The fans are still in their seats chanting loud. The home team played very well. The game was tied at eighty three all. The fourth quarter was coming to a close. Home team players on the court had the ball. Nobody in the place had moved. As time expired, the last shot was made. They won, were champs, and had a big party. Home
