This is the first stave or first act of "A Christmas carol" by Charles Dickens. This is an abridged version of the story and the play mixed so that it works better for podcasts or audiobooks. I did the editing. While the text I used was in the public domain since I did do some editing and reading it is my version of "A Christmas Carol". This is meant to me a little more humorous and I hope you will find it as such.
