The little match girl

It was a cold windy night, also New years Eve. No one was seen on the cold icy,hard sidewalks. Almost no one. Their was someone. A very poor young girl dressed in a rag shirt and a thin apron. She was walking along the sidewalk shouting:”matches for sale!” But her voice was lost in the howling wind. Everybody was to busy prerparing their delicous dishes inside their houses to even notice the poor little girl. She was getting very hungry from the dishes’ good smells. At last, she could no longer walk anymore. As she cuddled between two tall stone houses she thought to herself : ”how I wish I had a warm wool blankie with me.” She looked at her pack of matches in her hand. Then said:”I’ll struck one of the matches against the wall to warm myself.”
