    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Dec 6, 2000
    based on 117 ratings
     | 14,003 views

    ¡§Scrooge¡¨ is a classic story that emphasis the ¡§what¡¨ against ¡§what if¡¨. It is the story of a wealthy, miserly businessman who does not know any joy in life nor wills for anyone else to taste the same. He use to have heart but it died some years before. The spirits of Christmas past, present ...read more
