When I realized what story it was, I wished Ihadn't. i had to read this story several times growing up, and I never liked it. Only half of it is here. The little girl kept burning her matches until they were all gone and then she didn't have any to sell. Not that it really mattered, though. You see, as the last match burnt out, she died. While I know that the story is realistic for the period, It's just too sad. That painless death was the best she could hope for. Icame here because Iliked the picture.
