The Little Match Girl

It is a cold New Year's Eve in a prosperous American city of the early twentieth century. People clutch their coats close to their bodies as they hurry home to prepare for the evening's festivities. No one notices the poor little girl huddling in a corner, trying to keep warm by lighting the matches she was given to see on the street. As each match flickers to life, she sees marvelous vision s and feels the warm glow of hope and love.
