AHe went to church, watched the people, gave children money for sweets, and discovered that he had never been so happy in his life. In the afternoon he went to his nephew's house. He passed the door several times before he was brave enough to knock. But at last he did it, and was taken into the sitting room, where Fred and his pretty wife were waiting for their friends to arrive for dinner.“Fred！” said Scrooge.“It's your uncle Scrooge. I've come to dinner. Will you let me stay, Fred？”Fred almost shook his uncle's arm off. Scrooge felt at home in five minutes. Nothing could be merrier. And what a wonderful dinner they had!But he was early at the office next morning. Oh, he was there early. He wanted to catch Bob Cratchit arriving late. And he did! He was eighteen and a half minutes late when he finally hurried in. Scrooge was sitting with his office door open.“Hello！” said Scrooge in his old and hard voice. “What do you mean by coming here so late？”“I'm very sorry, sir，” said Bob.“I am late. It's only once a year. We were rather merry yesterday, sir.”“Now I'll tell you that, my friend，” said Scrooge, “I'm not going to have this any longer. And so，” he continued, jumping off his chair and shaking Bob's hand，“I'm going to pay you twice as much！”Bob's face went white. For a second or two he thought that Scrooge had gone crazy.“Merry Christmas, Bob！” said Scrooge, and it was clear that he meant it.Scrooge did everything that he had promised. Some people laughed to see the change in him, but he did not care. His own heart laughed inside him, and that was good enough for him.语篇解读：本文摘自查尔斯·狄更斯的《圣诞颂歌》。
