POOR PEOPLE BUT HE SAID THAT THEY COULD BE IN PRISON OR
WORKHOUSES.

of his door. The ghost was Marley but Scrooge shut the door. Scrooge
took a candle and the ghost appeared in the flames of the fire. Then, all
the bells of the house started to ring above Scrooge’s head. Then, the
ghost of Marley appeared and he had chains on his body with money-
boxes, keys, locks and account books. Scrooge asked who he was and
he answered that he was his partner, Jabob Marley.
CHAPTER 4
SCROOGE ASKED THE GHOST WHY A DEAD MAN WAS ON EARTH.
SCROOGE ASKED MARLEY WHY HE HAD CHAINS AROUND HIS BODY
AND HE SAID THAT HE MADE THEM WHEN HE WAS ALIVE BECAUSE HE
WAS CRUEL AND UNKIND. MARLEY SAID THAT WHEN PEOPLE ARE
ALIVE, THEY MUST GO OUT AND TALK, HELP AND CARE ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE BECAUSE IF HE DOESN’T HELP PEOPLE, HE WILL BECOME A
GHOST WITH CHAINS AFTER DEATH AND TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD
SEEING TERRIBLE THINGS.
SCROOGE WAS VERY WORRIED SO, MARLEY’S GHOST DECIDED TO HELP
HIM. HE SAID THAT THREE GHOSTS WERE GOING TO VISIT HIM. THEN,
MARLEY’S GHOST WENT OUT OF THE WINDOW AND DISAPPEARED.
SCROOGE LOOKED OUT OF THE WINDOW AND THE SKY WAS FULL OF
GHOSTS.

SLEPT IN THE OFFICE. MONEY WAS NOT IMPORTANT FOR MR.
FEZZIWIG BECAUSE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WAS THE HAPPINESS
HE GAVE TO SCROOGE AND OTHERS.
 Chapter 8
THE GHOST TOOK SCROOGE TO A TIME WHEN HE WAS A FEW YEARS
OLDER. THERE WAS A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG GIRL, SHE WAS HIS

PEOPLE COMING OUT OF CHURCHES ANG GOING TO THEIR HOUSES
FOR DINNER. THE POOR PEOPLE WERE CARRYING BASKESTS WITH

MEN COULDN’T SEE HIM. THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT A FUNERAL BUT
SCROOGE DIDN’T KNOW WHO DIED.
THEN, THEY WENT TO A LIITLE DIRTY SHOP. THERE, PEOPLE WANTED
TO SELL WHAT THEY TOOK FROM THE DEAD MAN AND OLD JOE DIDN’T
PAY MUCH MONEY. THE PEOPLE TOOK THE THING BECAUSE THE DEAD
MAN DIDN’T HAVE FRIENDS OR RELATIVES.

SEE HIM. THEN, THEY WERE IN ANOTHER ROOM. THERE WAS YOUNG
