BR3: A Christmas Carol

     Today I read "A Christmas Carol", a book in the Oxford University Press series. It was written by Charles Dickens, illustrated by Landseer and introducted by or Eleanor Farjeon.


     Christmas is humbug, Scrooge says - just a time when you find yourself a year older and not a penny richer. The only thing that matters to Scrooge is business, and making money. But on Christmas Eve three spirits come to visit him. They take him travelling the wings of the night to see the shadows of Christmas past, present, and future - and Scrooge learns a lesson that he will never forget.


     Scrooge of this "Christmas carol" was very reluctant to do something for people, not believing in anything but myself or money. However, from the three spirits, it will show me the past, the present and the future, and I will notice my own stupidity. And I found that the importance of doing something for others, and the joy. Today, there are many people suffering in the world such as badness and war. Also, children are living a life ​​can not study because they can not go to school because of war. If people in the world can understand the pleasure of doing something for everyone and everyone can think about doing something to as many people as possible, and like Scrooge, If you can realize that, the world will be overflowing with more happy and considerate people.


     If you are interested, please read it. I recommend it.
