Scrooge’s Life


-With the Friars approaching you, Mr. Scrooge!

-Nonsense! Nonsense!

– Do not you want to have fun?

-Why did it happen?

-That’s Christmas! Merry Christmas-tree!

-And you have many reasons for fun? Fail with your Saints! A lot of good from them! Let them disappear altogether! ..

Everyone is waiting for joyful days of Christmas and Merry Christmas. These are the days when tenderness overwhelms a person, when all people are happy. All but one – Mr. Scrooge, Ebenezer Scrooge.

In the pitch darkness, almost to the touch, the lord sneaks to the old, gloomy house. Now he will eat his oatmeal and go to bed… But he will not have to sleep – spirits will appear to him in a dream. Scrooge sees before him the spirit of Marley’s companion, who died seven years ago. Marley warns him against excessive stinginess, anger, contemptuous attitude towards people. He came to Ebenezer Scrooge on the eve of such a bright holiday,

to call for mercy, compassion, generosity. The spirit of the past leads Scrooge to the distant past. Here Scrooge is still a child. He is no different from his peers, just like they are fond of tales of Ali Baba and a book about Robinson Crusoe. But Scrooge – a young man, Scrooge – in the prime of life. But why there is no old shine in his eyes? Embraced by a passion for profit, Scrooge refuses his beloved bride,

The spirit of Christmas carries Scrooge behind him to show how little a person needs for happiness. Scrooge sees the dwelling of his clerk Bob Cracheta. Here they remember Scrooge’s witticism and insensitivity, but on Christmas day they wish him merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The poor poor Bob’s sick son, and Scrooge begs the spirit to save the life of the baby Tim. Together with the spirit of Scrooge goes to the house to his nephew Fred. Here, among the general fun, too, it comes to Scrooge as an evil person, but sympathize with him, because a man who has fenced off from the world of people, who can not smile, enjoy life, destroys himself.

The most terrible test was

prepared by Scrooge the third spirit – the spirit of the future of Christmas. He leads Scrooge into someone’s home. As all here is familiar! Why, it’s his apartment, his bed, someone lifeless lies on it. Scrooge hears what they say about the deceased, that is, about him, and people do not say anything good about Scrooge. At the cemetery, he sees his grave. On the tombstone his name is listed. A man, distraught with desperation, grabs the Ghost by the hand and prays for mercy. This hand trembled. Scrooge continues to plead for mercy, trying to keep the Ghost, but he pushes it away and disappears. Scrooge wakes up.

-Good afternoon, Mr. Scrooge!

– Merry Christmas to you! Greetings, dear sir! Let me ask you to forgive me, and give me pleasure – come visit me, I beg you!

-With joy!

-Sorry, I hurry to my nephew.

Oh, what a good evening! Frosty, snowy, solemn!

-Fred!

-We have the power of the cross! Who is it?

– It’s me, your uncle Scrooge. I came to have dinner with you. Will you accept me, Fred?

After five minutes, Scrooge felt at home. Never in his life had he eaten such a delicious dinner that his niece gave him. He had never met such a hearty reception…
