- Ben is an old miser. He spent all his life scraping money together. It is said he is worth thousands. He never spends anything to help anyone. He barely eats enough to keep his soul and body together. You would think he is a tramp. Such an old coat he wears. He did not get a new suit this last ten years. They say he is starving himself to death & I think they are right because he is gone very thin & worn. If he spent some money he would look much happier.
