She tries - but no one wants to buy, and she finally huddles down on a doorstep in the cold. She strikes a match, and a vision appears - herself in front of a laden Christmas tree. The vision dies as the match goes out, and she sobs aloud, more than ever aware of her loneliness. A friendly little newsboy, seeing her distress, brings her an apple, and they share it, their troubles forgotten temporarily. As the scene fades, the child awakens, safe and warm in a luxurious home, and glad that it was only a dream. Written by The Educational Screen (February, 1923) See less
