A Christmas carol: Part IV

After Charles Dickens

Scrooge woke up in his bed in his room. It was morning. He yawned and rubbed his head thoughtfully. Then he remembered his night. It made him the happiest of all because the time before him was his own and he could make the best of it. "I don't know what to do! I don't know what day of the month it is." He ran to the window, opened it, and put out his head. "What day is it today?" shouted Scrooge to a boy walking down the street in Sunday clothes. "Today?" answered the boy. "Why, Christmas Day, sir!" "It's Christmas Day!" said Scrooge. "I haven't missed it! Hey, boy! Take the money, go and buy the biggest turkey in the shop round the corner. I'll give you a shilling for it." The boy ran away for the turkey. "I'll send it to Bob Cratchit", said Scrooge cheerfully. "It's twice the size of Tiny Tim."

He dressed himself all in his best, and then went to church. He walked through the streets and watched the people. He felt very pleased. In the afternoon, he went to his nephew's house. He passed the door ten times before he had the courage to go up and knock. "Fred", said Scrooge, "It's your uncle Scrooge. I have come to dinner. Will you let me in, Fred?" Of course, Fred let him in. He was at home in five minutes. It was a very warm welcome and they all had a wonderful party.

But Scrooge was early at the office next morning. Oh, he was early there. Bob was eighteen minutes and a half late. "I am very sorry, sir", said Bob. "I am behind my time." Scrooge sat with his door wide open, that he might see him come in. "Now, I'll tell you what, my friend", said Scrooge, "I am not going to stand this sort of thing any longer. That's why I will pay you more money and help your nice family. A merry Christmas, Bob! Now make the fire warmer." Bob Cratchit was very surprised.

Many people were surprised. Scrooge was better than his word. Scrooge became a better person. To Tiny Tim, who did not die, he was a second father. Scrooge became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city or town in the good old world. Some people laughed to see the change in him, but he let them laugh. His own heart laughed. The three spirits never visited him again and he knew how to keep Christmas well.
