Dr. Seuss

Youre off to great places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting so... Get on your way!

Oh, the places youll go! There is fun to be done!There are points to be scored. There are games to be won.And the magical things you can do with that ballwill make you the winning-est winner of all.Fame! Youll be as famous as famous can be,with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.Except when they dontBecause, sometimes they wont.Im afraid that some timesyoull play lonely games too.Games you cant wincause youll play against you.

He took the Who’s feast, he took the Who pudding, he took the roast beast. He cleaned out that ice box as quick as a flash. Why, the Grinch even took their last can of Who hash.

The Grinch hated Christmas! The whole Christmas season!Now, please don’t ask why. No one quite knows the reason.It could be his head wasn’t screwed on just right.It could be, perhaps his shoes were too tight.But I think that the most likely reason of allMay have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

It all began with a shoe on the wall. A shoe on the wall shouldnt be there at all.

The sun did not shine. It was too wet to play. So we sat in the house. All that cold, cold, wet day.

I know it is wet and the sun is not sunny, but we can have lots of good fun that is funny.

Being crazy isnt enough.

The more you read the more places you will go,the more places you go the more things you will learn.

All alone! Whether you like it or not, alone is something youll be quite a lot!

Stop telling such outlandish tales. Stop turning minnows into whales.

You are you. Now, isnt that pleasant?
