A second one was struck against the wall; it gave light, and where it shone against the wall, it went as transparent as a veil, she could see into the room.,
A single match would do her good, if she would dare to take one from a box, strike it against the wall to warm her fingers.,
All the windows were brightly lit, and it smelled wonderfully of goose roast; because it was New Years Eve.,
and as soon as they were out of his sight, he dived under the water until the bottom, and when he rose again he was almost beside himself with excitement,
and before he well knew how it had happened, he found himself in a large garden, in which fragrant elders bent their long green branches down to the water,
and drink some swamp water,
And from the trees appeared suddenly three beautiful white swans.,
and on the hedge sat a raven and made her complain,
And she lit all the matches in the box, for she wished to keep her grandmother with her.,
and so the duckling was allowed to remain on trial for three weeks,
And so the duckling went away,
and the duckling sat in a corner, feeling very low spirited,
And the matches were glowing so bright, brighter than at noon-day.,
And the other children rejoiced with him,
And the other swans bowed before him.,
and the smallest shouted: “there is a new swan!”,
And the swans swam around him and stroked him with their beaks.,
and the tomcat said,
and then he began to feel such a great longing for a swim on the water, that he could not help telling the hen.,
and up there, there was no cold, nor hunger, nor fear, they would be with God
etc.
