I love, that the meme used the actual picture of a German fairytale.
Its called “The Dreadful Story Of Pauline And The Matches” - “Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug”
… But Pauline would not take advice,
She lit a match, it was so nice!
It crackled so, it burned so clear,–
Exactly like the picture here.
She jumped for joy and ran about,
And was too pleased to put it out. …
Now see! oh, see! a dreadful thing!
The fire has caught her apron string:
Her apron burns, her arms, her hair;
She burns all over, everywhere. …
Pauline was burnt with all her clothes,
And arms and hands, and eyes and nose;
Till she had nothing more to lose
Except her little scarlet shoes;
And nothing else but these was found
Among her ashes on the ground.
And when the good cats sat beside
The smoking ashes, how they cried,
“Me-ow, me-o! Me-ow, me-oo!
What will Mamma and Nursey do?”
Their tears ran down their cheeks so fast
They made a little pond at last.
