cold day, golden sunlight, blue sky, sweet clean air, merry Wonderful! bells. Oh, wonderful! What's today?" he cried, calling down to a boy in the street. Today?" replied the boy, in great surprise. "Why, it's Christmas Day!' So I haven't missed it!' thought Scrooge. "The spirits have done it all in one night!' He called down to the boy again, "Hallo, young man! Do you know the meat shop at the corner of the next street?' "Of course I do," replied the boy. "What an intelligent boy!' said Scrooge. Do you know if they've sold the big turkey that was in the shop window yesterday?' What, the one as big as me asked the boy "What a delightful boy!" said Scrooge. "It's wonderful talking to him. Yes, that's the one!' "It's still there in the window," said the boy. Is it?' said Scrooge. "Well, go and buy it. "You don't mean it!' cried the boy. "I do, I do. I'm serious. Go and buy it, and tell the man to bring it back here. Come back with the man and I'll give you a shilling. Come back in less than five minutes and I'll give you three shillings!' The boy went off like a bullet from a gun. I'll send the turkey to Bob Cratchit's!' laughed Scrooge. "He'll never know who's sent it! It's twice as big as Tiny Tim! Ha ha ha!
