Hans Christian Andersen's 1848 fairy tale ''The Little Match Seller'' is a story that can teach us a moral and reveal several themes through the short and simple plot. Though similar, morals and themes are not the same. A moral is a lesson that readers can learn about how to live life, while a theme is a ''big idea'' or message.
In the story, a nameless little girl tries to sell matches on a freezing cold night on New Year's Eve. People ignore her and she has no money to bring home to her family. She huddles between two houses and desperately lights her matches to warm herself. When she does this, she has visions of warmth and happiness; visions of her enjoying a meal, then celebrating around a Christmas tree, and, finally, seeing her grandmother who had died. The next day, the people who live in the houses nearby, find her frozen to death. We, the readers, realize that while she had those pleasant visions she is actually dying and breaking from reality.hope this answer help you please mark as brainlirst

HEY!!!!
On a cold New Year's Eve, a poor, young girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is already shivering from cold and early hypothermia, and she is walking barefoot having lost her two large slippers.[2] Still, she is too afraid to go home, because her father will beat her for not selling any matches, and also as the many cracks in their shack can't keep out the cold wind. The girl takes shelter in a rock or alley and sits down.[3]
The girl lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow she sees several lovely visions, starting with a warm stove, then a luxurious holiday feast where the goose almost jumps out at her, and then a magnificent Christmas tree larger than the one at the rich merchant's house. The girl looks skyward and sees a shooting star; she then remembers her late grandmother saying that such a falling star means someone is dying and is going to Heaven. As she lights the next match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness all through her life. To keep the vision of her grandmother alive for as long as she can, the girl lights the entire bundle of matches at once.
After running out of matches the child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the girl dead in the nook, frozen with a smile on her face, and guess the reason for the burnt-out matches beside her. They feel pity for her, although they had not shown kindness to her before her death. They have no way of knowing about the wonderful visions she saw before her death or how gloriously she is celebrating the New Year in Heaven with her grandmother.
