- Ben is an old miser. He spent all his life scraping money together. It is said he is worth thousands of pounds. He very seldom spends anything & never helps anyone. He barely eats enough to keep him alive. He is like a tramp - such an old coat he wears. He has not got a new stitch for the last ten years. He is starving himself to death because he is thin and worn. I think if he spend some of his money he would be happier.
