It is in the light of the matches that she sees the visions of an iron stove,a sumptuous feast, a twinkling Christmas tree and her late grandmother.
Answer:
As her first vision the girl saw a great iron stove with brass knobs and brass ornaments. She stretched her feet to take the warmth from the beautiful flame of the stove.
After that she saw a shining white cloth spread on the table. It was covered with beautiful china and in the centre of it stood a roast goose, stuffed with prunes, and apples, steaming deliciously. What was even more wonderful was that the goose hopped down from the dish and came towards her with the fork and knife on its back.
As her third vision, the girl came across a beautiful Christmas tree which was larger and lovelier she had seen last year. The green branches were lit up by numerous candles and gaily coloured balls.
The last vision the match girl had was that of her old grandmother who had ever been good to her unlike others and was now dead. Her grandmother stood before her, bright and shining, looking gentle, kind and loving. As requested by her, the grandmother took her in her arms and flew up high in the sky.
