The Little Match Girl

It's a touching and often associated with Christmas. The story is about a poor girl who's trying to sell matches on a very cold New Year's Eve. No one buys any matches from her, and she's afraid to go home because her father would be angry. To keep warm, she lights matches one by one. Each time she lights a match, she has beautiful visions of warmth and happiness, like a cozy stove and a delicious feast. But when the match goes out, she's back in the cold. In the end, she lights her last match, and her grandmother, who had passed away, comes to take her to heaven, where she won't be cold or suffer anymore. This story shows the sadness of poverty and how important it is to show kindness and help those in need, especially during the coldest and darkest times, like in winter.
