Question

There was once a bundle of matches, who were all extremely
proud of their high decent, for the tall fie tree, from which each of
them was a splinter, had been a tree of great antiquity and
distinguished by his height from all the other trees of the forest. The
matches were now lying on the mantel piece between a tinder box and
an old iron saucepan and to these two them often talked about their
youth, "Ah, when we were upon the green branches". Said they when
we really lived upon green branches that was a happy time!
Every morning and evening we had diamond tea, that is dew, the
whole day long we has sunshine, at least whenever the sun shine and all the
little birds used to tell stories to us. It might easily be seen too, that we were
rich for the other trees were clothed worth leaves only during the summer,
whereas our family could afford to wear green clothes in both summer and
winter. But at last came the woodcutters: then was the great revolution, and
our family was dispersed. The father trunk obtained, and our family was
dispersed. The father trunk obtained a situation as main mast to a magnificent
ship, the bough, were carried off to a carious places and our work was
henceforth to kindle light for low, common people. Now you will understand
how it comes to pass that person of such high descent as we should be living
in a kitchen.
