I need a short summary of the childrens book, How the Grinch Stole Christmas in spanish :) ?

Hi, I just need a short summary of How The Grinch Stole Christmas in Spanish, about 100-150 words. Using preterit and imperfect tenses. Thats it :)

Cómo el Grinch robó la Navidad

En aquel encantador pueblo, los residentes estaban muy ocupados en los preparativos para la Navidad, su fiesta favorita. Sin embargo, estos preparativos consistían exclusivamente en la copiosa compra de regalos y artículos navideños, olvidando el verdadero sentido de la Navidad.

El Grinch vivía alejado en una montaña. En el pasado escapó del pueblo, marginado por su apariencia diferente. Los vecinos nunca sospecharon la existencia del Grinch; por el contrario, continuaron concentrando todos sus esfuerzos cantando villancicos y adornando casas y plazas con motivos navideños, acrecentando aún más la cólera y odio de este verde personaje hacia ellos. Por eso pudo engañarlos y robar todos sus regalos, porque odiaba la Navidad.

Sólo una pequeña niña se preguntaba sobre el verdadero significado de la Nochebuena, y les hizo conocer ese sentido al Grinch y también a los vecinos.

Preterit: “escapó”, “sospecharon”, “continuaron”, “pudo”, “hizo”

Imperfect: “estaban”, “consistían”, “vivía”, “odiaba”, “preguntaba”

Approximate translation:

How the Grinch stole Christmas

In that lovely village, the residents were very busy in the preparations for Christmas, their favorite holiday. However, these preparations consisted exclusively in the copious gifts and Christmas stuff shopping, forgetting the true sense of Christmas.

The Grinch lived far away in a mountain. Sometime in the past he escaped from the village, marginalized because of his different appearance. The neighbors never suspected the existence of The Grinch; on the contrary, they continued concentrating all of their efforts singing carols and decorating houses and squares with Christmas ornaments, increasing even more the angry and hate of this green character against their. Because of that he could trick them and steal all of their gifts, since he hated Christmas.

Only a little girl wondered about the true meaning of Christmas Eve, and makes them know that sense to The Grinch and also to the neighbors.
