<P> After running out of matches the child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven . The next morning , passers - by find the girl dead in the nook , frozen with a smile on her face , and guess the reason for the burnt - out matches beside her . They feel pity for her , although they had not shown kindness to her before her death . They have no way of knowing about the wonderful visions she saw before her death or how gloriously she is celebrating the New Year in Heaven with her grandmother . </P>
