Then the second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, takes him to see 24 others are spending Christmas this year. Everyone is happy, even poor people. The last one, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, takes him to the 25 . Scrooge sees that he is dead, but nobody cares. He is so 26
that he wakes up in his bed and finds out it is only the next morning — Christmas Day! Scrooge decides to change his life and 27 to be a kind person. He 28 celebrates Christmas with his relatives. He also gives gifts to people in need. He now treats
