PRESENTER- Hello ladies and gentlemen today our radio programm has the luck, the pleasure to introduce to yourself to Ebenezer Scrooge who decides to give half of his money to create an orphanage. Welcome Mr. Scrooge.
                      
EBENEZER- Please call me Ebenezer

 

P- OK Ebenezer. Well, youīve decided to create a new orphanage for Christmas, but we know that no more than a year you were a person who didnīt like critsmas. Why?.

 

E- Mmmm!! I donīt know really. I think maybe it was for my friend Marleyīs death. And because normally nobody asked me in the street and I started to hate them for donīt do it. For these reason I didnīt like christmas, but now I love chistmas.

                      
P- What happened in your life to change your opinion of the chistmas?
                      
E- On Chistmas Eve, I went back home like everyday, without thinking about other people, but when I was trying to open the door I saw the Marleyīs face although I though that it canīt be real.
When I was having dinner at home suddenly appeared the Marleyīs ghost and he told me things that I had forgotten. And he announced me that during nights, three differents ghost come to visit me.
I remembered that I learnt more about me with those ghost and the travels on the time.
                      
P- Oh my God! Do you travel on time? Really? It is very interesting! How happened?
                      
E- The first ghost, a beautiful woman, took me to remember my past, when I a little boy, when I was a young man, when I started to work in the shop and when I began to love money.
I just remember another reason for I hated Chirstmas, and Itīs that when I started to love money I was having a relation with Belle, my girlfriend, but she broke with me because I put my interest on my money and no in her. She broke with me in cristmas.
                      
P- Oh, Itīs terrible!
                     
  E- yeah! But I didnīt have to interpose in my life the money. Love is more important.
                      
P- yes, itīs true. Ok! What happened with the second ghost?
                      
E- The second one was a huge man that seemed to Santa Claus. It was the present ghost. It took me to saw to my nephew, who had inveted me to his party that night but I didnīt want to go. The ghost showed me my workerīs family too. I realised that they were a poor family but very happy when they stayed together.  I think  that I learnt more about the people who stayed beside me.
                      
P- Itīs really amazing! And what happened with the last ghost?
                      
E- The last ghost was the most simbolic. I think that It represented “ The Death”. It showed me two deaths, one of them was of Tiny Tim, the little son of Bob Cratchit, my worker. The other one was mine.
                      
P- Itīs Horrible! Were you afraid?
                      
E- Oh! I was scare, and overcoat when it showed me my gavestone.
                      
P- Oh Jesus! I could never see my gravestone.
                      
E- I believed that me neither.
                      
P- Well, and what happened in the end?
                      
E- I woke up that morning and I felt that I was a new person. I celebrated cristmas with my nephew and I bought food for Bob and his family.
                      
P- you passed a great christmas but I know that when chistmas finished you felt sad and you stayed in home two weeks without leave.
                      
E- Yeah! I felt really bad, I wanted to celebrate chistmas again. I was used to think about it. And one day my friend Bob said to me that those thoughs can be useful and goog to people. Something builder.
                      
P- For that reason you decided to do the orphanage. Didnīt you?
                      
E- yes, I feel really successful.
                      
P- I cheer it. Now our time is coming to finish. Thank you Ebenezer for your experience and for coming.
                      
E- youīre welcome.
