He also warned scrooge that he will be haunted by three ghosts when the bell tolls one, and with that the ghost of Scrooge’s business partner disappeared into the darkness. When the bell tolled one Scrooge awoke and saw a small childish ghost in front of him. She was the ghost of Christmas past. She took Scrooge to his childhood where he saw his old school and his old friends. When Scrooge was young, he was often alone. He never went home on Christmas days because of his cold-hearted father. Then the ghost took him to the Fezziwig’s Christmas party where he first met his girlfriend Belle. Later on, the spirt led Scrooge to see he and Bella separated. The ghost left Scrooge alone sitting on his bed. Scrooge aroused when the bell tolled one again.

He was a jolly old fellow. He took him to Bob Cratchit’s house where he learned that they were very poor and tiny Tim their youngest child was terribly ill. Next the sprit told Scrooge his time was gone and he had to leave, and he left Scrooge. Later on, when the clock stroked the hour Scrooge aroused and saw a black figure floating in front of him.

Scrooge promised that he will restore Christmas. The spirit led him to the Cratchit family who were mourning for Tiny Tim’s death. Scrooge could not resist it any longer so the spirit left Scrooge by himself again. On the next morning Scrooge found out that the ghosts all visited him on one night.
