A Christmas Carol.
By Charles Dickens (simplified version).
Ebenezer Scrooge was an old money lender in
London. He was rich, but he was a very greedy, stingy
and selfish man. He wasn`t friendly to people and he
didn`t help anyone. His only friend and partner, Jacob
Marley, died many years ago.
His clerk Bob Cratchit had to work in a cold room,
because Scrooge didn`t want to spend money on a
coal to heat the room.
At Christmas his nephew Fred came to invite him to
Christmas dinner at his home and to wish a «Merry
Christmas», but Scrooge only answered angrily «Bah,
hambug».
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge was sitting alone in his
cold living room at home. Suddenly the ghost of his
dead partner appeared. He said to Scrooge : «Change your life! You must become a
better man. You must be kind to people, you must laugh with them. Three ghosts will
visit you this night.» Scrooge was terribly afraid. Then he went to bed.
