Answer 2

"The little match girl huddled down in a heap in a corner formed by two walls,one of which projected further out into the street than the other,but though she tucked her little legs up under her she felt colder and coldDr.She did not dare to go to home,for she had sold no matches and earned not a single penny.Her father would beat her,and besides it was so cold at home,for they had nothing but the roof above them and the wind whistled through that,even though the largest cracks were stuffed with straw and rags.Her thin hands were almost numb with cold."
