What does Scrooge think the spirit will show him?

When Scrooge saw the dead man he thinks the Spirit is trying to teach him a lesson. In other words, this man (on the bed) died unloved and alone and YOU will die the same way if you continue to live the way you do. Scrooge asks the Spirit to show him someone who felt emotion associated with this man's death.

hope this helps! :)
