Author: Charles Dickens
Summary: Ebenezer Scrooge is rich beyond measure. Sadly, the only thing the old man is preoccupied with is turning money into more money, which leaves him roaming the streets alone, clenching his fists, yelling at workers, children, and the less fortunate. That night, the ghost of his former business partner appears, warning him of the terrible (same) fate he is about to suffer if his habits of greed and selfishness don’t change. He tells him that he’ll be visited by the three ghosts of Christmas (past, present, and future), which then takes him on a tour of various Christmas scenarios. The grief and horror he witnesses transform him overnight, and he decides not to waste another second and right his wrongs, feeling blissful at having been granted another shot at life.
“There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humor.”
