Scene 1: At Mr Scrooge’s office

Ania M. Narrator: One upon the time, on Christmas Eve, old Mr Scrooge sat busy in his office. It

Awia Mrs Jane: A Merry Christmas, uncle! God save you!

Zosia Mr Scrooge: Bah! Hambug!

Awia: Mrs Jane: Christmas a humbug, uncle! You don’t mean that. I am sure? Please, come and
enjoy Christmas dinner with me and my daughters in our house.

Zosia Mr Scrooge: Ah! Humbug, I say.

--------------------------------------------------------”-----------------------------------------------------------
Ania M. Narrator: When it was time to close the office, Mr Scrooge talked to his clerk, Mr Bob
Cratchit.
Zosia Mr Scrooge: You want all day off tomorrow, don’t you?
Adam Mr Cratchit: If that is okay, Sir.
Zosia Mr Scrooge: It’s not okay and it is not fair. But if it must be, I want you to start work very
early the following morning.
Adam Mr Cratchit: Of course, Sir. I’ll be very early. You can count on me.

Scene 2: At Mr Scrooge’s house

Ania M. Narrator: The two gentlemen went home.

Mr Scrooge lived all alone in an old house. The yard was very dark and scary that night.

Suddenly, Scrooge heard a noise, as if somebody was dragging a heavy chain. The noise came1
nearer and nearer, and then ….

Zosia Mr Scrooge: Who are you?

Laura Mrs Jacobina Marley: In life I was your bussiness partner, Jacobina Marley. I only cared
about business but not about the people around me.

Now, I am here to warn you. You still have a chance, Ebenezer.

Three spirits will come to you. Expect the first tomorrow at one o’clock. The second – at two o’
clock. The third – at three o’clock.

Ania M. Narrator: Mrs Marley’s soul disappeared. Mr Scrooge went straight to bed, without
undressing, and fell asleep immediately.

Scene 3: At Mr Scrooge’s house – The first Spirit

Ania M. Narrator: Suddenly, the clock struck one. Light flashed up in the room. Then Mr Scrooge
found himself face to face with the visitor.

Zosia: Mr Scrooge: Who are you and what do you want?

Ania Ch. The Spirit of Christmas Past: I am the Spirit of Christmas Past. Rise and come with me.

That was a merry Christmas Eve. You spent it with Miss Belle Fezziwig. There was food, music
and dancing, and everybody was happy. You were both planning to get married and live together. It
was your dream to have a family.

But then, something happened.

Ala Miss Belle: Ebenezer, your heart was full of love once, but now …?

Janek: young Mr Scrooge: Oh Belle, I’m sorry I forgot about our meeting. I was extremely busy.

Ala Miss Belle: I’m very sad to see your new love – the love of gold.

Janek young Mr Scrooge: But.. I’ve worked so hard, I need it badly.

Ala Miss Belle: Ebenezer, I think it is better for us to say goodbye.

Janek young Mr Scrooge: Listen to me! I was a poor boy. Now I can buy whatever I want: meals
in expensive restaurants, new clothes, modern furniture, exotic holidays…

Ala Miss Belle: Be happy in the life you have chosen.

Janek young Mt Scrooge: Belle! Wait...Let me think...

I don’t know what to do. Should stay or should I go?

Hm.. I’ve got so much work to do. I must go back to the office and finish my calculations.

Ania Ch. The spirit of Christmas Past to Mr Scrooge: You lost your chance to be happy. Now
you’re a greedy, lonely man.
Zosia Mr Scrooge: Spirit! Show me no more! Take me home.

me.

See?
Your niece and her daughters are having a cheerful time, singing Christmas carols.

Awia Mrs Jane: Poor uncle Scrooge. What is is he doing now in that cold house?

Natalia Daughter1: Mum, has uncle Scrooge got a wife?

Awia Miss Jane: No, he hasn’t. He’s too busy to have a family.

Ania B. Daughter2: But mum, has he got dog or a cat?

Natalia Daughter1: Or a rabbit, a hamster,… or a guinea pig?

Awia Miss Jane: No, he hasn’t. He doesn’t like animals.

Ania B. Daughter2: Is he all alone in his house?

Awia Miss Jane: Yes, dear. And I’m afraid he’s counting his money right now.

In the street market you can see Mr Bob Cratchit and his son Tim trying to buy something for
Christmas Eve dinner. Mrs Cratchit is waiting for them at home.

Dawid Tim: Dad, can we buy this fat turkey, please?

Adam Mr Cratchit: Not this time, Tim. But we can have these two peagons instead.

Dawid Tim: Could I have this board game, please?

Adam Mr Cratchit: No, I’m sorry, son. But you can have this Christmas cane.

Zosia Mr Scrooge: What’s the matter with Tim?

Marta The Spirit of Future Christmas: He’s very ill.

Zosia Mr Scrooge: Why don’t they take him to hospital?

Marta The Spirit of Future Christmas: They won’t help him in the hospital. His mum and dad work
very hard, but they can’t afford the very expensive treatment that he needs.

…Tim needs someone who has kindness in his heart...

Zosia Mr Scrooge: Poor child...

...Am I the the same man that I was?

I will not be the same!
I will live in the PAST, the PRESENT, and the FUTURE.
Good Spirit, I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year!

Marta The Spirit of Future Christmas: So be it!
