Ebenezer Scrooge Had a Breakthrough

You've heard the story of Ebenezer Scrooge. He was a miserable curmudgeon with a cold heart. Scrooge declined invitations to donate to poor children and only reluctantly let his clerk, Bob Cratchit, take the day off on Christmas.

A vision of his deceased business partner, Jacob Marley, should have caused Scrooge to reconsider his behavior. But Scrooge only made a dramatic breakthrough after three ghosts appeared to Scrooge. The most important of the three showed Scrooge the future that will follow from the way he lived his life. A grave visited by no one and people happy that Scrooge was gone.
