Once upon a time, there was a little girl who was selling matches on the street on a cold winter night. She had no place to go and was trying to stay warm. She struck a match to light her way, but it quickly went out. She struck another match, and another, and another, each time feeling a moment of warmth and comfort before the match went out. Finally, she struck one last match and saw a vision of her deceased grandmother, who took her away to a place of warmth and comfort.
