“Grandmother!” exclaimed the child, “oh, take me with you! I know thou1 wilt2leave me as soon as the match goes out，
thou wilt vanish like warm fire in the stove, like the splendid New Year's feast,
like the beautiful large Christmas tree!” and she hastily lighted all the remaining matches in the bundle,
last her grandmother should disappear. And the matches burned with such a blaze of splendor,
that noon day could scarcely have been brighter.
Never had the good old grandmother looked so tall and stately, so beautiful and kind；
she took the little girl in her arms, and they both flew together-higher, till they were in that place where neither cold,
nor hunger, nor pain, is ever known， they were in paradise.作者: kobe 时间: 2013-12-19 20:33
But in the cold morning hour, crouching in the corner of the wall, the poor little girl was found：her cheeks glowing, her lips smiling， frozen to death on the last night of the old Year. The New Year's sun shone on the lifeless child； motionless she sat there with the matches in her lap, one bundle of them quite burnt out.
“She has been trying to warm herself, poor thing!” the people said， but no one knew of the sweet visions she had beheld, or how gloriously she and her grandmother were celebrating their New Year's festival.作者: kobe 时间: 2013-12-19 20:34
