Mr. Grumble is a stingy old man who hoards his money like Scrooge from "A Christmas Carol." He would do anything to save a penny, even if it means lying to his neighbors about the price of his services. Just like Pinocchio, whose nose grew longer when he told lies, Mr. Grumble's sneaky ways always seem to backfire, revealing his true, dishonest nature. He refuses to share even a crumb of his wealth, making people avoid him like the plague. In the end, his greed and deceit only leave him lonely and unhappy.
in 3-5 sentences, Describe a character who is stingy with money and dishonest. Include allusions to Scrooge and Pinocchio.
