An exemplary tale of the lack of compassion in the world. Too often do people realize what kindness they could have shown when it’s too late.

[redneckbuster]

Saddest story ever written. I really want to save the girl from all that misery and give her everything she needs, then hand everyone who turned her away a live grenade, especially her father.

[thedanishbacon]

It a sad story written by Hans Christian Andersen, a Danish fairytale author. As a Dane, I have always loved his stories. Happy Christmas everyone and take care of each other.

The way McGregor brings this story to life, is so intense. It sounds like Obi-Wan telling this story to younglings!

[thefuck]

WHY AM I CRYING IM JUST TRYING TO LISTEN TO A BEDTIME STORY TO GO TO SLEEP

[lorettamaillie]

Thank you I love the little match girl!

[princessmarshella]

I came here for Obi-Wan's voice ;););)

[tonybarde]

The Little Match Girl didn't have the high ground! I wonder if Obi Wan could tell us the story of the Battle of Geonosis

[GoddoDoggo]

The story itself is very tragic, but the ever-looming image of a grinning British man standing over a freezing, dying girl kind of ruins the effect a bit.

[uganda-noscoper-knuckles]

I just read this book at my school today!

[xJannah]

I see the man who read the book is actually the narrator who telling us this story. so, either way there is nothing he could do. its as if the narrator watched the match girl as he read :') this is so sad

[philipcheung]

Can you do the full story of Thumbelina?

[lessls]

Couldn't Ewan Mcgregor have like.... narrated a less sad tale

[BloodyBay]

1:22 Ewan McGregor! You're standing right there! Go over, grab her by the arm, take her to an inn and put her up for the night, will you?

(Yes, yes, I know. McGregor's just there to read the story to us. I was just poking fun. :-) )

[NotSoLiberal]

Who’d stuff a goose with apples? That’s just wrong

[AntnyGamer]

the guy with the book is smiling at her when she is dead he probably killed her they just don't want to say it,  like if you agree (thumbs up)

[eddygtube]

5:25 That guy is too happy about finding a frozen corpse.

[pranitigulyani]

Beautiful story. Got tears in my eyes.My children loved it!

[hellblizzard]

You know, I love hearing stories.
And I love the way you read this story.
*thumbs up*

This is a wonderful story...and I have lived it myself, save only that for whatever reason...I did not die.I 'lost my way and lost my will' years ago...and lived on the streets for almost three years. I survived by selling plasma rather than matches...just enough money to buy food and stuff from thrift-stores like clothes to replace the ones I wore-out...but if for any reason I was sick, or my 'finger-stick' revealed some lack of protein or blood-sugar, I was 'out' until the next time (x2/wk.) Such a life I had in my mind ! I was with the woman I love and her boy...and it was so powerful I never wanted to come back, but my body was too strong to 'let-go' and forced me to wake and eat and drink...I could spend days sleeping for 20-hours and not realize how long it had been, and didn't care in any event.I could steal books and read them...I wanted them as much as food, because I could LIVE in them!  They were and remain my personal fixation...my 'other life', apart from the overflow aqueduct where I hid myself and slept and read. So...what has this to do with the "Little Match Girl" ? The story means 'we are all we have' and when you are dying, your mind and heart can give you all you need if you allow it to...even death cannot take your 'good dream' away from you.
