It was the evening before Christmas.

Great big snowflakes were falling, carpeting the pavements.

A little girl, bare-headed and barefoot, was out walking in the cold.

Her mother had given her shoes – but they’d been too big for her and she’d lost them crossing the street.

She hadn’t sold even one box of matches – not one.

Her father would beat her for sure.

The icy wind pinched at her cheeks and whirled around her neck.
