This story is written by author Hans Christian Anderson. He was a Danish writer popular for his influential stories about children. The author has described how a little girl lost her life and the scenes she witnessed before death which put a smile on her face. The girl who he has portrayed in this story is selling matchsticks on the streets. She is barefeet in the brutal cold as she has lost her oversized footwear while crossing street. She is forced and threatened to sell matchsticks by her father. She was scared because she was not able to sell any matchsticks that night. If she went home without any money, she would be beaten by her father. Apart from the bleak cold, she was also very hungry. It was the holiday season and a festive feeling was all around when this poor little girl was wandering so that she could sell some matchsticks. Cold, hunger and grief made her look like a figure of sorrow herself. She did not wish to go home because her house did not have much covering but a roof. It could not protect them from the severe cold. While walking, due to the cold weather her hands had become numb. 
This is how the author describes the condition of little girl in the story The Little Match Girl.
