Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel

“There is no food," said the woodman. “How will we eat?" “Take Hansel and Gretel for a walk in the Brown Wood," said his wife, “and leave them."

“No!" said the woodman. “I cannot!" "You must, or we will all die!" cried his wife.

So the woodman took Hansel and Gretel into the Brown Wood. He gave the boy and girl some cake to eat. But Hansel put it in his pocket and dropped little bits all along the way.

The woodman left Hansel and Gretel deep inside the dark, dark wood. He walked away and did not look back.

“Now we are all alone! How will we get home?"Gretel sobbed. “Do not cry,” said Hansel. “We will see the cake I dropped in the dirt, and it will lead us home."
