A Christmas Carol - Stave 3
Upon waking from a nap, a hopeful Scrooge anticipates meeting the Ghost of Christmas Present. The majestic spirit transports him to joyful Christmas scenes, from bustling city streets to the humble Cratchit home. Witnessing the Cratchits' meager celebration, Scrooge learns of Tiny Tim's uncertain fate. The spirit guides him through various festive gatherings, including his nephew Fred's party, but the night takes a dark turn when he reveals starving children named Ignorance and Want. In a haunting echo, the ghost quotes Scrooge's earlier callous words about prisons and workhouses.
