gifts.
NARRATOR: Suddenly Scrooge’s nephew Fred came to invite him to Christmas dinner.
FRED: Good evening uncle! Merry Christmas!! I came today to invite you to my Christmas dinner.
NARRATOR: But Scrooge only answered angrily…
SCROOGE: Bah, humbug!! I won’t go. I don’t mind it!!
FRED: But uncle, this is Christmas and nobody must be alone.
SCROOGE: I don’t believe in Christmas. Now I want to be alone.
FRED: Anyway. We’ll be waiting for you.
NARRATOR: So on Christmas eve, Scrooge was sitting alone in his cold living room at home. Suddenly a
ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley, appeared and told him…
GHOST: Change your life!! You must became a better person. You must be kind to people.
SCROOGE: My life????
GHOST: Three ghosts will visit you this night!
SCROOGE: Mhhh!!! Bahhh!!!
NARRATOR: Scrooge was terribly afraid. Then he went to bed. While he was sleeping the Ghost of
Christmas Past appeared.
GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST: Buuuu. Hello Scrooge. I came to take you to the past Christmas.
SCROOGE: Nooooo!!! Are you crazy?
GCPAST: I’m going to show you something. Look!! You were that friendly man and those were happy days.
SCROOGE: Holy heaven!!! This is the past and that’s me. This is the place where I spent my childhood
GCPAST: you looked really happy. You were a very friendly and kind young man. You celebrated Christmas
with people but you changed.
NARRATOR: Later the Ghost of Christmas Present appeared.
GC PRESENT: Buuu, Scrooge. I came to take you to the present Christmas.
SCROOGE: oh, no again.
GC PRESENT: Look your room is decorated with holly, ivy and mistletoe and it looks so nice but you are
alone.
SCROOGE: That’s terrible! I can’t believe it. In those years I’ve changed a lot.
GC PRESENT: I’ll take you to another place
NARRATOR: the GC PRESENT took Scrooge to a poor but clean room. It was Bob Cratchit’s house. He and
his wife and two children were sitting around the table.

And this will be the most wonderful Christmas dinner we have.
NARRATOR: Bob saw Scrooge and invited him to sit down and have Christmas dinner with them. Scrooge
was very ashamed.
BOB: Mr. scrooge. This is my family. We invite you to have Christmas with us.
SCROOGE: I’m sorry but I’m in a hurry.
BOB AND HIS WIFE: We insist you, please.
CHILDREN: Stay with us, please.
NARRATOR: Scrooge was so confused and asked the GC PrESENT for a boy on a wheelchair.
SCROOGE: Who’s that boy?
GC PRESENT: This is Tiny Tom. Bob’s little boy. He is handicapped.
SCROOGE: the boy will die?
GC PRESENT: Yes!! If they don’t get the money for a doctor.
SCROOGE: Please, take me away.
NARRRATOR: Suddenly the Ghost of Christmas Present disappeared but the Ghost of Christmas Future
appeared.
GC FUTURE: Come here. I’ll take you to your future. Come with me. Look at this neglected graveyard.
NARRATOR: Scrooge shouted because he looked his name on the tombstone.
SCROOGE: Oh my Godness!! I’ll change my life! I will be friendly and generous. But please take me out of
here.
NARRATOR: the GC FUTURE disappeared. And scrooge awoke the next morning and remembered
everything.
SCROOGE: What a wonderful morning! It’s so warm today!
NARRATOR: Scrooge went out into the street and bought many presents.
SCROOGE: Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas to all!! Food to everybody. I invite you today.
NARRATOR: Scrooge was another person. Then he went to Bob’s house. Bob opened the door and smiled.
SCROOGE: Bob, Merry Christmas!! I bought food and many presents for you and your family.
BOB: Mr. scrooge? Is this you?
SCROOGE: Of course, this is me!! Merry Christmas Bob!! Bye.
NARRATOR: Bob received the presents. He was a little confused.
