It's winter and Christmas is coming soon when Tohru is asked to put on a performance for the old folk's home. Tohru and the others decide to put on a play so as to not bother Miss Kobayashi while she's busy, yet without her there to control things, the play the dragons devise takes an unexpected turn... Finally, the play is put on, and while Miss Kobayashi watches their performance with anxiety...
On a cold, cold winter night, 
a poor little girl is selling matchsticks.
في ليلةٍ باردة من ليالي الشّتاء، تبيع
فتاة صغيرة فقيرة أعواد الكبريت
Ein armes, kleines Mädchen verkauft
in einer bitterkalten Winternacht Streichhölzer.
En una fría noche de invierno,
una pobre chica vendía fósforos.
En una fría noche de invierno,
una pobre chica vendía fósforos.
Une pauvre enfant vend des allumettes
un soir glacial d’hiver,
In una gelida notte d'inverno,
Em uma noite fria de inverno,
 uma pobre menina está vendendo fósforos.
В холодную зимнюю ночь бедная
 девочка стоит и продаёт спички.
