A Christmas Carrot

Once upon a time in Dickensian times there was a banana stuck in his ways. 

Ebanana Scrooge is stuck in his ways.  He does not like Christmas and acts rotten to those who do.   Mr Scrooge is shown the error of his ways by our old favourite - Kevin the Carrot who gives him food for thought. 

He realises the sadness he has brought and begins to mend his ways.  The moral of the story is. 'For you to be happy, you need to be kind.'
