His only employee Bob Cratchit was working away by the light of a small candle. He was shivering, you see scrooge was too cheap to light the fireplace or buy a fresh candle for his employee. Despite Scrooge's cheap behavior, Cratchit worked very, very hard.
Scrooge was very, very angry that he had to pay Bob Cratchit for Christmas day. “I have to pay you not to work!” Scrooge sneered.
“But sir, it's Christmas Day.” Bob Cratchit said.
“HUMBUG!” Scrooge said.
Scrooge trudged home past Christmas carollers. “Humbug.” he muttered under his breath.
