What does scrooge learn about tiny Tim

He learns he is sick.

Dickens says of Scrooge: ''To Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, he was a second father. He became as good a friend, as good a master, and as good a man, as the good old city knew, or any other good old city, town, or borough, in the good old world. ''Scrooge was deeply affected by Tiny Tim before and the great love he saw in the Cratchit family. He is now saddened by Tim's death. He wanted to see the boy live. When Scrooge realizes that the man whose death he saw was himself, he asks the ghost why he is being shown all of these visions if he is beyond all hope .Scrooge begs to know whether Tiny Tim will survive. The spirit replies that given the current conditions in the Cratchit house, there will inevitably be an empty chair at next year's Christmas dinner.
