Bright lights shot out of every window, and the street smelled of roast goose. A little girl was shouting along the street: "Matches are sold, who buys matches?" ”
The little girl's slippers were lost, and her feet were red and swollen with frost. A whole day passed, and no one bought her matches.
The little girl did not dare to go home, curled up in a corner, cold and hungry. How eager she was for warmth!
The little girl rubbed a match and felt as if she were sitting by the stove, just trying to stretch out her feet to warm up, but the flames went out and the stove was gone.
She rubbed another match. Whew! Through the flames, she seemed to see roast goose and bread. She reached for it, but what she touched was the cold and cold wall.
The little girl was reluctant to wipe the matches, but she was frozen and shivering.
She wiped the third match. Whew! A Christmas tree full of gifts appeared in front of me.
She saw many Christmas candles sparkling, and they flew upwards and became stars in the sky! Suddenly, the stars fell and the fire went out again.
She rubbed another match, and in the light of the fire appeared her grandmother, who was already dead. Grandma was still so kind and gentle.
She hurriedly rubbed one match after another, knowing that as soon as the fire was extinguished, Grandma would be gone.
The light emitted by the matches is very bright, better than the day. Grandma took the little girl into her arms, and the two of them flew up together.
"Where are we going?" The little girl asked. "Let's go to a paradise where there is no cold and no hunger." Grandma answered.
On New Year's morning, snow fell on the little girl. She froze to death with a smile on her lips. No one knew what wonderful things she had ever seen.
