A Christmas Carol (part 3)

 -What place is this spirit?
-It's the house of your only living relative!
-My nephew Fred?
-That's right! Your late sister's only child! He is having a Christmas party! Let's listen to what they're talking about...!

-Fred, have you seen your uncle Scrooge recently?

-Actually I stopped by his office today to invite him for dinner but as always he came out with a couple of nasty words about Christmas and bah-humbugged me out of the door!

-He sounds so mean!

- No he's not...He's just a lonely man! And his wealth only makes him more unhappy! But my mother loved him! So for the shake of her I will continue inviting him every Christmas! I feel sorry for him and I could never be angry with him...

-Now in honor of my mother, my dear wife Millie will perform a song that her and her brother Ebenezer used to sing when they were children! It's a cheerful tune! Let's have fun my friends!

-Enjoying yourself Scrooge?

-Ahh, this song brings back nice memories!

-Well I'm afraid I have to leave you. My time on earth is not long!

-Oh no! Don't leave me spirit! You've been a nice friend to me!

-No, I'm done! Remember...you will be visited by one more ghost...

-...I believe... you...are the ghost of Christmas yet to come...

-...

-Ι...fear you greatly, but...I know your purpose is to do me good,...isn't that right?

-...

-Ok then... show me shadows of things that will happen in the future!...

A Christmas Carol (part 2)

 -What is that noise? Is anybody there?...

-Ebenezer Scrooooge!...

-Who...who are you?...

-In life I was your partner, Jacob Marley!

-But...you died seven years ago...

-Don't you believe me?

-I...I believe you...but what are these chains on you?

-I wear the chain I forged in life! I made it link by link with my greed! But this is nothing compared to the chain you are making Ebenezer! It is a monstrous one!

-Oh no!...speak comfort to me Jacob...

-I am here to warn you that you have yet a chance of escaping my fate!

-Tell me, what must I do?...

-You will be haunted by three spirits!

-More ghosts? I think I'd rather not...!

-Without their visits you cannot hope for a better path than mine! Expect the first when the bell tolls one!...

-It's one o'clock... nothing... maybe I was only dreaming... but wait... I think something or ....someone is over there!...

-Who are you?

-I am the ghost of the Christmas past!

-And what reason brings you here to me spirit?

-Your welfare! Now come along, we have much to see!

A Christmas Carol (part 1)

It's Christmas eve. Everybody in town feels the joy and warmth of the season! Except one lonely soul that believes that Christmas is nonsense!...

-Merry Christmas sir!

‐What?... Nonsense! Stop that noise! Can't a man live in peace?

-But sir..

-Go away at once! Christmas they say! Humbug!

-Cratchit, why are you fooling around and what are you doing with that piece of coal?

‐I...I was trying to warm the office Mr. Scrooge... It's quite freezing in here...

-Bah...humbug! You don't need more! Put that back and don't make useless expenses!

-But Mr. Scrooge..

-Get on with your work Cratchit!...
