❄️🕯 The Little Match Girl
📜 Script
NARRATOR:
It was a cold, snowy night.
A little girl walked through the streets.
She had no hat, no shoes—only a bundle of matches.
Her toes were red.
Her fingers were cold.
She was hungry… and no one stopped to help.
NARRATOR:
She sat in a corner between two houses.
To stay warm, she lit one match.
FSSSSHH!
The light danced like a star.
NARRATOR:
In the flame, she saw a warm stove.
She reached out—but it disappeared.
She lit another match.
Now she saw a big table with food!
But it was just a dream.
NARRATOR:
She lit one more match—
and saw her grandmother smiling.
👧 GIRL (softly):
“Grandma… please don’t go.”
NARRATOR:
The warm light grew brighter.
The girl felt safe.
She saw stars and soft snow falling.
She smiled.
NARRATOR (ending):
In the morning, people found her still and quiet—
but smiling.
They didn’t see what she saw…
a light full of love.
