8. Most terribly cold it was; it snowed,
and was nearly quite dark, and evening -
the last evening of the year. In this cold
and darkness there went along the street
a poor little girl, bareheaded, and with
naked feet. When she left home she had
slippers on, it is true; but what was the
good of that? They were very large
slippers, which her mother had hitherto
worn; so large were they; and the poor
little thing lost them as she scuffled away
across the street, because of two carriages
that rolled by dreadfully fast.
What fairy tale is this?
