The Little Match Girl (6) [Little Match Girl]

The Little Match Girl (6)

She struck a third match.

Immediately she found herself sitting under a magnificent Christmas tree.

It was even bigger and more beautifully decorated than the one she had seen througth the glass doors at the rich merchant's house last Christmas.

A thousand candles were burning on the green branches, and it seemed as if all the colorful figures were smiling at her.

The little girl held up both hands and the match went out.

The Christmas candles rose higher and higher, and she then realized they were just stars.

One of them fell and made a long streak of fire in the sky.

"Someone is dying, " whispered the little girl, for her old grandmother, who was the omly one who had ever been kind to her, but who had died, used to say to her:
" If you see a falling star it means that a soul is going up to heaven. "
