Young Ebenezer Scrooge was working on a series of sums. He squinted in the dying light.

A boy walked in. He put a document on the small table.

" Ebenezer". Jacob Marley smiled. " You're not going to like this".

It was a lawsuit against Ebenezer's professor.

Marley grinned. " Luckily the professor hasn't seen it yet".

Ebenezer glanced at the document. " It says I caused damage to Mr Stumps property".

Marley gave him a strange look. " Well did you?".

" Of course not".

Marley shook his head. " The problem is that your name is on the suit".

" So what do we do?".

" We will make an offer". Marley smiled. " And then work out terms".

" Ok".
