Answer 1

Mr. Grumble is a miserly businessman who hoards his money like Scrooge from *A Christmas Carol*, never willing to share or invest in his community. He often twists the truth, just like Pinocchio would when he lied, making excuses to avoid paying his employees fairly. His greed leads him down a slippery path, causing his friends to feel as fake and untrustworthy as a wooden puppet.
