Her cold little home -- Her mother's shoes -- A corner to sit in -- The stove and the goose -- Candles and stars -- Happy little soul

It's a cold winter's day, and a poor little girl can't sell any of her matches to people in the street. She can't go home with no money. But how can she stay warm? That 31st December, the little match girl sees rich people's homes, Christmas trees, and wonderful things to eat. She also remembers her kind grandmother, now sadly dead. Can the New Year make things any better for the poor young girl?
