Scrooge also became a generous person.  He had a large, expensive turkey sent to the Cratchit family for their Christmas Day dinner.  Scrooge ran into the gentleman who had come to see him the day before and promised to donate an unspecified amount of money by whispering into his ear.  He also told his employee, Bob Cratchit, that he was going to give him a raise.
