Answer 1

Answer:

The bright flame of the match which the girl imagined to be an iron stove, burnt so nicely that the little girl stretched out her feet to warm them. She felt very comfortable, but then the flame went out, the stove vanished and nothing remained. The girl had only remains of the burnt out match in her hand.
