Oprah
:
We have a special guest for you today, Scrooge!
(Scrooge walks in)
Crowd: Boo
Scrooge:
Oprah
,
how are you doing? Looking fine as usual.
Oprah
:
Why, thank you Scrooge, I am doing fine. Why
don’t you take a seat? Today’s topic is on
people who have changed their life dramatically.
Oprah:
So, Scrooge, you used to be a very mean, nasty
person?
Scrooge: I am sorry to say
yes, I was. I used to never get into the Christmas
spirit, yell at lots of people, not give to
charities, not give my workers day off, things
like that. I was however, making a lot of money.
Oprah:
Is that all you cared about?
Scrooge: Yes, but I was a
very unhappy person as I can see now.
Oprah
:
So Scrooge, tell us about these three Christmas
ghosts that came to see you.
Scrooge: Actually
there were four ghosts. The first one was a ghost
of my
dead business partner, Marley. He told me
what was going to happen. The
next ghost that
came, Spirit of Christmas Past, showed me choices
that I had
made in the past that had had an impact
on my life. For example, when I did
not marry this
woman just because she did not have enough money.
The next
spirit, Spirit of Christmas Present,
showed me things that I had an impact on
that day.
Like how I had not paid my nephew
Bob
Chrachit
enough money
so his son, Tiny Tim, almost died.
The final Spirit, the Spirit of Christmas yet
to
come, showed me things that could happen. Like how
if I died the people
who worked for me would not
care, they would just want my valuable
possessions.
Oprah
:
How did these ghosts change your life?
Scrooge: Well, they showed me
I had made decisions that had effects on my whole
life. Also, if I did not change the way I lived my
life all I would be remembered for would be my
cruelty and greediness. I had made bad decisions,
but if I changed I could live a better life.
Oprah
:
So, how do you live your life now?
Scrooge: Well, I helped out
Tiny Tim and his whole family medically and
financially. Also, I gave them lots of presents. I
now give lots of my money away to charities and to
poor people. I also am nicer to my employees and
treat them a lot better in several aspects.
Oprah
:
Well thank you Scrooge for sharing your story with
us today.
Scrooge: My pleasure,
Oprah
.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
