The Last Candle

Once upon a time, during a cold winter, there was a boy who travels with his black cat. The boy was homeless and he sell candles on the street to get by. Every night he would lit one candle to keep himself and the cat warm. One night, a small pale girl with long black hair approached the boy. She gave the boy her warm scarf and winter coat. The boy was curious and asked if she was homeless too. She looked at the boy and smiled without saying a single word. The girl grab the boy's hand and stopped in front of a bakery. The boy's eye dazzled as he look inside the shop and see the delicious banana bread. The girl notice the way the boy look at the delicious bread and she decided to go inside the shop. "WAIT!" yelled the boy. He was trying to warn the girl that he doesn't have any money. The girl simply smiled back  and went inside the shop. Moments later she came out with a fresh bag of banana bread and handed it over to the boy. He was so happy to finally get to eat fresh food. All night long the two of them went on many adventures together. They ate all kind of delicious food, wear all kind of fashionable winter clothes, and even built a snowman together. As the night goes on the two children stood in front of a Christmas tree. The boy glares at the star on top of the tree and starts to tears up. The girl took his hands and slowly they both began to flew up towards the sky. The boy was shocked and scared, then he looked up at the girl and see her beautiful smile once more. He felt the warmth of her hands and suddenly he doesn't feel scare anymore. Together the two of them went, with a big smiles on their faces as the last candle fade away.
