The Little Match Girl

(after Hans Christian Andersen)

Most terribly cold it was; it snowed, and was nearly quite dark. It was the last evening of the year. A poor little girl, bareheaded, and with naked feet, was walking along the street. She carried some matches in an old apron, and she held a bundle of them in her hand. Nobody had bought anything from her the whole day; no one had given her a single coin. She was trem- bling with cold and hunger – a very picture of sorrow, the poor little thing! From all the windows the candles were gleaming, and it smelt so deli- ciously of roast goose, for you know it was New Year’s Eve. At the corner of the street she seated herself down. She grew colder and colder, and she couldn’t go home, for she had not sold any matches and could not bring a penny of money. She would certainly get blows from her father, and at home it was cold too. Her little hands were icy cold. Oh! A match might give her a world of com- fort, if she only dared take a single one out of the bundle, and warm her fingers by it. She drew one out. It was a warm, bright flame, like a candle, as she held her hands over it: it was a wonderful light. It seemed really to the little maiden as though she were sitting in front of a large iron stove. But in a moment the small flame went out and the stove vanished. She rubbed another one against the wall: it burned brightly, and where the light fell on the wall, there the wall became transparent, and she could see into the room. On the table a snow-white tablecloth was spread; upon it the roast goose was steaming famously with its stuffing of apple and dried plums. And the goose hopped down from the dish with a knife and a fork in its breast and came up to the poor little girl. She lighted another match. Now there she was sitting under the most magnificent Christmas tree: it was still larger, and more decorated than the one which she had seen through the glass door in the rich merchant's house. The lights of the Christmas tree rose higher and higher, she saw them now as stars in heaven; one fell down and formed a long trail of fire. “Someone is just dead!” said the little girl; for her old grandmother, the only person who had loved her, and who was now no more, had told her, that when a star falls, a soul goes to God. She drew another match against the wall: it was again light, and in the light there stood her old grandmother, so bright and mild, and with such

an expression of love. “Grandmother!” cried the little one. “Oh, take me with you! You go away when the match burns out!” And she rubbed the whole bundle of matches quickly against the wall, for she wanted to be quite sure of keeping her grandmother near her. The grandmother took the little girl on her arm, and both flew in brightness and in joy so high, and there was neither cold, nor hunger, nor anxiety – they were with God. But on the corner, at the cold hour of dawn, sat the poor girl, with rosy cheeks and with a smiling mouth, leaning against the wall – frozen to death on the last evening of the old year. “She wanted to warm herself,” people said. No one had the slightest suspicion of what beautiful things she had seen.

Девочка со спичками

(по Гансу Христиану Андерсену)

Было ужасно холодно; шел снег, и было почти совсем темно. Это был последний вечер года. Бедная маленькая девочка, с непокрытой головой и босиком, шла по улице. Она несла спички в старом переднике и держала в руке связку. Никто ничего не купил у нее за весь день; никто не дал ей ни одной монеты. Она дрожала от холода и голода — настоящее изображение горя, бедняжка!

Во всех окнах горели свечи, и так вкусно пахло жареным гусем, ведь, как вы знаете, это был канун Нового года.

На углу улицы она села. Ей становилось все холоднее и холоднее, и она не могла пойти домой, потому что она не продала спичек и не могла принести ни копейки денег. Она наверняка получит пощечину от отца, а дома тоже было холодно.

Ее маленькие руки были ледяными. О! Спичка могла бы дать ей целый мир утешения, если бы она только осмелилась взять одну из пучка и согреть ею пальцы. Она вытащила одну. Это было теплое, яркое пламя, как свеча, когда она держала над ним руки: это был чудесный свет.

Маленькой девочке действительно казалось, что она сидит перед большой железной печью.

Но через мгновение маленькое пламя погасло, и печь исчезла.

Она потерла другую спичку о стену: она ярко горела, и там, где свет падал на стену, стена становилась прозрачной, и она могла видеть комнату. На столе была расстелена белоснежная скатерть; на ней жареный гусь лихо дымился с начинкой из яблок и чернослива. И гусь спрыгнул с блюда с ножом и вилкой в груди и подошел к бедной маленькой девочке. Она зажгла еще одну спичку. И вот она сидит под самой великолепной рождественской елкой: она была еще больше и более нарядной, чем та, которую она видела через стеклянную дверь в доме богатого купца.

Огни рождественской елки поднимались все выше и выше, теперь она видела их как звезды на небе; одна упала и образовала длинный огненный след.

"Кто-то только что умер!" - сказала маленькая девочка; потому что ее старая бабушка, единственный человек, который любил ее, и которого теперь не было, сказала ей, что когда падает звезда, душа отправляется к Богу.

Она дернула еще одну спичку к стене: снова стало светло, и в свете стояла ее старая бабушка, такая яркая и кроткая, и с таким выражением любви. "Бабушка!" - воскликнула малышка. "О, возьми меня с собой! Ты уходишь, когда спичка догорит!" И она быстро потерла всю связку спичек о стену, потому что она хотела быть совершенно уверенной, что бабушка останется рядом с ней. Бабушка взяла девочку на руку, и обе взлетели в яркости и радости так высоко, и не было ни холода, ни голода, ни тревоги — они были с Богом.

Но на углу, в холодный час рассвета, сидела бедная девочка, с румяными щеками и с улыбающимся ртом, прислонившись к стене — замерзшая насмерть в последний вечер старого года. «Она хотела согреться», — говорили люди. Никто не имел ни малейшего подозрения о том, какие прекрасные вещи она видела.
