    I got up at seven last Sunday morning. I was having breakfast……

    It was snow and dark on the last evening of the year.

Many people were get together in their warm homes.

There were some match in a poor little girl's hands.

The little girl was afraid to go home without sell one box of matches. 

Lights were shining from every window. The little girl feels cold 

and hungry. The next morning she was found lying against the wall, die.
