Hansel and Gretel lived near a dark forest with their father
and their stepmother.
Father:
Good morning, children. Did you sleep well?
Hansel:
Yes, I slept very well.
Gretel:
Me too, Father.
Father:
Excellent. What are you going to do today?
Hansel:
We are going to get some sticks in the woods.
Father:
We know! But stepmother told us she needed firewood
everyday to keep our cottage warm.
Narrator:
As Hansel and Gretel got closer to the house, they
realized it was a special house.
Hansel:
Look! It’s made of sweets.
Gretel:
...and gingerbread!
Let’s try some.
Gretel:
It’s delicious!
Narrator:
Hansel and Gretel nibbled away like hungry mice.
Suddenly an old woman opened the door.
Witch:
You are eating my house. Are you hungry?
But, you do that everyday!
Gretel:
That is a great idea, Hansel.

Let’s go and ask for some food.

One day, they got lost deep among the trees.

We didn’t mean to eat your house...

...but we were so hungry.

Don’t worry, Father.

(smiling sweetly) Come inside, dear children.

Hansel and Gretel stepped inside the house. Then the
old woman locked the door.
Witch:
How dare you eat my cottage! Now, I will eat you,
boy! And you, lazy girl, can get to work!
Hansel, where are we? It’s getting late.
Hansel:
I don’t know, Gretel.
Gretel:
I’m very hungry.
Hansel:
Me too.
Gretel:
Father will come and find us.
Hansel and Gretel: (scared and starting to cry) No, we didn’t mean to.
We’re sorry.

She was a wicked witch!
