- Ben is an old miser. He spent all his life scraping money together. It is said that he is worth thousands of pounds. He spends nothing & he never helps anybody. He eats barely enough to keep his soul and body together. You would think he was a tramp. Such an old coat as he wears. It seems as if he did not get a new stitch for the past ten years. They say he is starving himself to death and I think they are right because he is thin and worn. If he spent some of his money with those who need it he would be much happier.
