Mother gave me two cakes, and I kept one quietly. Don't ask, why is this?
Dad put a cotton-padded coat on me, and I won't break it. Don't ask, that's it. Why?
My brother gave me a box of songs, and I chose the most beautiful page. Stop asking. What is this for?
At night, I put them by the bed and let my dreams fly out of my bed. Stop asking. What is this for?
I gave her cake, gave her cotton-padded clothes to keep out the snow, and sang the most beautiful songs together.
Do you want to know who she is? Please ask Grandpa Andersen-she is the little sister selling matches.
