She was walking barefooted. She was also % shivering from cold and hunger and was not able to sell any # =~ matches that day. She sat on a cold corner and stayed there. # To make herself warm, she decided to light some of the # $ — matches that she had. Every time she lights one, she imagines $ $ something. In the first match, she imagined she was sitting in % & front of a large iron stove. After the matched burned out, it % & became dark again. She lit another one and imagine there was & & a table full of delicious food. Once again, it became dark 4 & shortly after. She lit another match and imagined she was in & i front of a huge Christmas tree. She saw a star falling from the ; 4 star and thought that someone was dying because that was 4 4 what her late grandmother told her. She lit the fourth candle 4 4 and saw her grandmother. She burst into tears and begged to 4 4 be taken away with her. The matchstick burned out and 4 4 everything was dark again. The next morning, the dead body of 4 4 the poor girl was seen at the very same spot. Beside her was a 4 4 pile of burnt matchsticks. People concluded that the child 4 % = must have been trying to warm herself up but still ended up 4 & ~~ being frozen to death. 4 & % & % & % & % & % & & & & & % % % MORAL: The world may be too cruel for some people: so we need to extend our help to those in need. A little bit of our kindness may change or even save a life of another person. RERAAAAAAARAARRAEEEESD
