The little match girl
It was so bitterly cold. it was snowing, and the evening was growing dark. it was also the last evening of the year. new Year's Eve. In this cold and in this darkness a poor little girl was walking along the street. to be sure, she had been wearing slippers when she left home, but what was the good of that The slippers were quite big; her mother had used them last, they were so big and the little girl had lost them when she hurried across the street, just as two carriages went rushing past at a frightful speed. one slipper was nowhere to be found, and a boy had run off with the other. He said he could use it for a cradle when he had children of his own.
There walked the little girl now on her the whole day. No one had given her a single shilling. Hungry and frozen, she looked so crowed as she walked along, the poor little thing. The snowflakes fell on her long golden hair.
