Although he recognized it as his own room, it looked
very different now. The walls were covered with bright
green leaves, and there was a good fire burning in the
fireplace. On the floor were big piles of the best Christmas
food - wonderful rich dark cakes, warm soft bread,
colourful apples and oranges, plates of yellow butter,
cooked chickens, boxes of chocolates and sugared sweets.
Sitting beside all this was a large, smiling spirit, who called
out cheerfully to Scrooge, 'Come in! Come in, man! I am the ghost of Christmas Present! Look at me!'
