The Little Match Girl
Once upon a time, there was a poor little girl who lived on the streets. It was New Year's Eve, and she was trying to sell matches to earn some money.
Despite the cold weather, she couldn't go back home because her father would beat her for not selling enough matches. Desperate and freezing, she decided to light a match to warm herself.
As she lit the match, 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 saw her grandmother, who had passed away, smiling at her. She lit more matches to keep the vision alive, but eventually, all the matches were gone.
In the morning, the little girl was found frozen to death on the street, with a smile on her face. People passing by felt sorry for her, but no one knew the beautiful visions she had seen in her last moments.
