This well-known fairy tale Hans Christian Anderson has been told many times in Palestine. It is the story of a poor orphan girl who must sell matches on the street of her city. This cold winter day, she has sold nothing. She is afraid to go home so she finds a small place where she can hide. Shivering in the cold, she decides to light a match. And then another. And another. Each match brings her warmth and visions of a better life. But life is cruel. And people are cruel to the poor. Somewhere there is a better life… even if it is in our imaginations.
