It was very cold (paragraph)	It was very cold, it was snowing and it was already getting dark; it was the last night of the year. In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl, with a bare head and barefoot roamed through the streets. When she left the house she must have been wearing slippers; but what did that help? They were very large slippers that her mother had so far worn, they were so big. The little creature had lost them when she rushed across the street, because of two carriages running by, at a terribly high speed. One slipper could not be found again, and the other a boy had picked and ran away with it. There the little girl was now walking with bare feet, which were red and blue from the cold. In an old apron she carried a whole supply of matchboxes, one of which she held in her hand. No one had bought one from her all day, no one had even given her alms.	Learn
