A Christmas Carol (Level: A3 Elementary)

A retelling of Dickens' famous story of the transformation of the cold-hearted miser, Ebenezer Scrooge.

"Mr Scrooge,"said the gentleman."I have comte to ask for your help because it is Christmas. I want money to help the poor people who have no money and no homes"
"Aren't there any prisons?" asked Scrooge. Aren't there any workhouses? Put these people in prisons and workhouses."
"But prisons and workhouse are very unpleasant places. I am sure you want people to have a merry Christmas," replied the gentleman.
"I don't have a merry Christmas," said Scrooge."Christmas is nonsense. It's Humbug! I don't belive in Christmas. I'm not giving money to anyone else so they can have a merry Christmas."
