• 2. It Was Terribly Cold

It was terribly cold and nearly dark on the last evening of the old year, and the snow was falling fast.
In the cold and darkness, a poor little girl, with bare head and naked feet, roamed through the
streets. It is true she had on a pair of slippers when she left home, but they were not of much use.
They were very large, so large, indeed, that they had belonged to her mother, and the poor little
creature had lost them in running across the street to avoid two carriages that were rolling along at a
terrible rate. One of the slippers she could not find, and a boy seized upon the other and ran away
with it, saying that he could use it as a cradle, when he had children of his own. So the little girl went
on with her little naked feet, which were quite red and blue with the cold.
