Once upon a time, there was a little candle standing with other candles in a room. Most of other candles were much (beautiful) than her. Some were white, blue, pink, and some were green. She had no (idea) why she was there, and the other candles there made her feel rather small.
When the sun went down and the room began to get dark, she saw a man (walk) to her with a box of matches. She suddenly realized that the man was going to set her on fire. "No, no!" she cried," Don't burn me, please!" But she knew that she couldn't (hear), so she became the first candle was burnt.
Then to her surprise, the room was filled light. She wondered it came from, because the man had extinguished(熄灭) his fire stick. Then she realized that the light came from (she). It made her very happy.
Then the man struck another match and, one by one, he lighted the other candles in the room. Each one gave out the same light.
Over the next few (hour), the little candle noticed that her wax(蜡) was beginning to flow slowly.
She knew that she would soon die, and suddenly why she had been created. "My purpose on the earth is to give out light until I die," she said. And that's (exact) what she did.
