Christmas,a humbug,Uncle?" asks the nephew laughing. "You don't mean it. I'm sure". "I do," says Scrooge. "Why are you so happy? You're poor!" "Oh,,Uncle," replies the nephew cheerfully. "Why are you so miserable? you're rich!" Scrooge can't think of a good reason so he just says, "Bah,humbug!" again. "Ah, now don't be angry,Uncle," continues his nephew. "Why not?" growls Scrooge. "I don't want to think about Christmas. It's too expensive!" "But Christmas is a good time, Uncle! It's the only time of the year when men and women open their hearts and are kind. Christmas doesn't make me rich,that's true, but it's a happy time for me." "Don't say another word,Nephew," grumbles Scrooge. "Say 'says his nephew. " Come and eat wit us tomorrow." "I don't want to come to your house," replies Scrooge. "Why?" asks Scrooge's nephew,surprised.
