A little later, two men knocked at the door of the old miser.
“Is this the residence of Scrooge and Marley?” asked one of them.
“My associate Marley died seven years ago!” muttered Scrooge.
“I am very sorry to hear that,”said the man. “Well, to try and give the orphans and the needy a happy Christmas we are collecting a few pennies..”
Scrooge cut the man's word. “It is none of my business!” And he slammed the door in their faces.
