Polar Opposites
Clem wasn't sure how he had gotten such weird genes in his family, but all the Whos in Whoville were sure he must have been one of the umbrella baby mix-ups like the Grinch. So he had extra layers of skin, could do bizarre things with his face, had weird eyes and a penchant for kitten? Did that make him as vile as the Grinch? No, he was a good non-Who. And who ever said the Who's were normal? Their skin was too tight and their noses did this funny point thing. The teasing of those upward-pointed nosers had driven him here, to this mountain where the Grinch was rumored to live.
"Whaddya want?" A voice snarled down at him.
"Not much, just a nice place in a warmer climate, good friends, a good poker game and a sack full of kittens." Clem said smiling.
"We don't have any of those here. Go away!"
"You don't have be such a jerk about it." Clem said dejectedly, turning from the mountain. He wished he could have all those things.
"Hello, I'm the GRINCH!" The green-skinned creature yelled from deep in his lair. Stupid Who.
