【《卖火柴的小女孩》英语童话绘本故事】In a cold and dark winter night, a poor little girl walked through the streets of a city. Her feet were bare, and her clothes were torn. She had no home to go to, and no one to care for her. The wind howled like a wild animal, and snow fell gently from the sky.
She held a bundle of matches in her small hands. Her mother had told her to sell them before the sun went down. But no one stopped to buy them. The people passed by, ignoring her cries for help. They were too busy with their own lives to notice the lonely child.
As the night grew darker, she decided to light a match to warm herself. The flame flickered, and for a moment, it felt like a warm fire. She saw a beautiful image in the light — a warm stove, a big dinner table, and a kind old woman smiling at her. It was just a dream, but it made her feel safe and loved.
She lit another match. This time, she saw a delicious feast on the table, and a Christmas tree decorated with lights and stars. She could almost smell the food and hear the laughter of children. But again, the match burned out, and the dream disappeared.
One by one, she lit all the matches. Each time, she saw something wonderful — a beautiful bird, a warm room, and even her grandmother, who had passed away. She wanted to stay with her forever. But the matches kept going out, and the cold returned.
At dawn, the people found her body, still holding the matches. Her face looked peaceful, as if she had finally found happiness in a dream. No one knew that she had seen so many beautiful things in the short time she had left.
This story is a touching tale about poverty, loneliness, and the power of dreams. It reminds us to be kind to those in need and to cherish the moments we have. Even in the darkest times, there is always hope.
The Little Match Girl is a classic fairy tale that has been adapted into many forms, including English picture books. These stories are not only educational but also heartwarming, helping children understand emotions and the importance of compassion.
