Once upon a time, there was a poor little girl who tried to sell matches in the cold streets of the city. She was barefoot and shivering, wearing only rags to protect herself from the harsh winter weather.
As night fell, the little girl found herself unable to sell any matches. Desperate and hungry, she decided to light one match to warm herself.
As the match burned, she saw a vision of a warm stove and a table full of delicious food. But as soon as the match went out, the vision disappeared. She lit another match, and this time she saw her beloved grandmother, who had passed away.
The little girl lit all the matches in a desperate attempt to keep the visions alive. But in the morning, she was found frozen to death on the cold streets, clutching the burnt-out matches in her hand.
Despite her tragic end, the little match girl was finally at peace, as she was reunited with her grandmother in heaven.
