on his own foot and fell on the concrete.

“What?” The pup said as he looked down on him.

“I need you do to something for me.” Scrooger said, finally getting up. “Do you know the place where the big turkeys are sold?”

“Yeah! It’s down the block!”

“Can you go and buy it for me?”

“What? No way! Then what do I get?”

“I have a nice, big dog bone for you. You know what? Make it two dog bones for being such a good lad.” Scrooger chuckled. He never thought giving away could be fun. “Now go on the double and get the biggest turkey there is!” Scrooger waited at that very spot until he came back. Moments later he did, with a turkey almost as big as Scrooger!

“That’s a good boy! Here are the bones I promised. And here is a fresh meat stick on the house! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas! The pup skipped away merrily. And now for Crust’s place.

Scrooger put the huge turkey in a big bag so they wouldn’t see it. He wanted this to be a surprise. He knew the way, for he had gone this way before. One he got there, he put his angry face on. And stomped into the dark ally.

“Crust!!”

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him with horror.

“Scrooger? How did”-

“There’s no time for questions! Now I didn’t get enough meat yesterday! And do you know what I do to people who can’t pay me back?!”

“Uhh. Oh please Scrooger!”-

“I- I give them the best Holiday they ever had!” He laughed and pulled the turkey out of the bag. All the kids’ eyes were wide and their mouths were locked open.

“Merry Christmas everyone!”

“How did you do this Scrooger?”

“There’s no time for questions. We need to eat. Dig in everyone!” But then Scrooger forgot something. “Wait!” he said. And he looked at Tigo. “Would you do the honors, Tigo?”

“Yes, Mr. Scrooger. God Bless us, Everyone!”

“Now I have another present…Money!”

“To pay for the operation!” Crust finished. “How”-

“I said, no more questions. Now everyone say the magic words:
