The Little Match Seller

In front of a windowless, soot-blackened brick wall on a snowy evening, a young girl wearing a dress, an apron, and one shoe tries to sell matches but has no buyers. A cheeky lad comes by and steals her shoe right off her foot. A lamplighter passes. She huddles by the wall, lighting a match from time to time, and through the brick she can see a series of visions: a roaring fireplace, a table with a roasted turkey, a Christmas tree, a beckoning woman with a kind face. As night passes, the child sleeps. Is there any rescue for her?
