'I'm very sorry, sir',said Bob.
'I don't like it!' he shouted. 'So I'm going to ...'
Bob waited, very frightened.

Chapter 7
Happily Ever After
That afternoon, Scrooge took Bob Cratchit out for a drink and explained how he was going to help him and his family in the future.
Scrooge did everything he said he was going to do and more. He became a friend of the Cratchit family, and he was like a second father to Tiny Tim, who did not die.
Some people laughed at him because he had changed, but Scrooge let them laugh, he did not mind. He knew that there are always people who laugh when good things start happening in the world.
