The Little Match Girl :(

i recently was watching one of C-ute's FC events...
and Airi, Chisa and Mai were playing a story.....

there was a part innit that was taken from the story

The Little Match Girl


where the girls were trying to earn money by selling matches

though i know in TLMG nobody wants to buy it...

caus in Hello! Morning (momusu's variety show) theres always a skit... and all different kinds of characters of fairy tails appeared innit
so did the little match girl.....


but lol @ the event ofcourse all fans were yelling they wanna buy it xD hahaha
it really lolled me xD so i upped it on YT.........



ANYWAYS becaus of that i got curious bout the real story.....

though they always play it in skits and makes it funny and all......


i found out

the story is actually REALLY sad :(

On a cold New Year’s Eve, a poor girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is freezing badly, but she is afraid to go home because her father will beat her for not selling any matches. She takes shelter in a nook and lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow, she sees several lovely visions including a Christmas tree and a holiday feast. The girl looks skyward, sees a shooting star, and remembers her deceased grandmother saying that such a falling star means someone died and is going into Heaven. As she lights her next match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. She strikes one match after another to keep the vision of her grandmother nearby for as long as she can. The child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the dead child in the nook.




=(
thats not a fun story at all :(
