Danish
Det var årets sidste aften. Det var næsten mørkt, og sneen faldt tæt. En lille pige gik gennem gaderne uden hue og med bare fødder. Hun havde sin mors store tøfler på, da hun gik hjemmefra. Men hun mistede dem, da hun løb over gaden for at undgå to vogne, der kom hurtigt forbi.
English translation
It was the last evening of the year. It was almost dark, and the snow was falling heavily. A little girl walked through the streets barefoot and without a hat. She had been wearing her mother’s large slippers when she left home. But she lost them when she ran across the street to avoid two carriages that came speeding by.
