HANSEL & GRETEL
Once upon a time there lived a poor woood-cutter with his family.
They lived in a small house near a forest. Their children’s names were
Hansel and Gretel. The children loved their parents and the parents loved
their son and their daughter.
But times were very hard. The parents had very little food and soon
there was nothing left. The children were hungry. They were starving. So
one day they dicided to look for some food. They went into the woords but
they did not find anything. They went on further and finally came to a
small cottage.
But the cottage was very strange. It was made of bread, cakes,
cookies, biscuits, chocolate and sweets. The Windows were made of sugar
and the rood was covered with bards of chocolate.
When the children saw that, they were very surprised. As they were
hungry, they started to eat. Hansel took a piece of bread in one hand and a
piece of cake in the other. Gretel took two bars of chocolate from the roof.
They were very happy with their discovery. But at the moment they
heard a voice from the cottage. “Who is eating my house”? Hansel and Gretel
did not pay too much attention to the voice.
They replied: “It’s just the wind”. But they heard the voice again. This
time the voice was very loud and they had to answer.
They said: “We are poor children and we are starving. Can you help us
and give us some food”?
