Ebenezer Scrooge

It's Christmas and my name is Ebenezer Scrooge. I've been through a transformation that was huge. When it came to people, I was selfish and mean. I was so selish that I lost the girl of my dreams. People always said Merry Christmas but I refused to hear it. Last night I was visited by Jacob Marley and three spirits. They showed me my past, present and future too. Now I'm a happy man who has been born anew. The spirits showed me the error of my ways. Now I'll be a better man for all of my days. I know a sick little boy and his situation is very grim. But I will use my money and love to cure Tiny Tim. I once said that the poor should die and decrease the surplus population. Now I'm jolly and when I think about Christmas, I have much appreciation. I have something to say to every man, woman, boy and girl. I want everybody to have a Merry Christmas all over the world. (Based on the classic 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens.)
