Scrooge worked with Marley in the same office as a businessman. Marley died several years ago. Scrooge didn't think about anybody, even his partner. He hated Christmas and said Christmas was humbug. Until one day, Marley's ghost appeared.
To save Scrooge from traveling endlessly through the world after his death, he asked three ghosts to meet Scrooge that night.The first ghost was Christmas Past. It showed Scrooge his past. Scrooge wasn't so mean when he was young, he had warm Christmas with his friends. The unhealthy interest in money made him change gradually. After Scrooge in the present saw this, he cried.The second ghost was Christmas Present. It was very kind. It showed Scrooge the poor but cheerful Christmas and his nephew's Christmas. The poor were very happy and they drank to Scrooge's health, though Scrooge wasn't so kind to them. Scrooge was moved.
The last of the ghosts was Christmas Yet. It was mysterious. It showed Scrooge's death. Nobody cared about it. In another family a little boy died.

Money can't buy you everything, especially happiness.參考資料 http://www.books.com.tw/exep/prod/booksfile.php?item=F011178258
