No, I won’t.

Then, I could eat you first!

Please Gretel, do as she says.

Suddenly, Gretel had a great idea. As the witch bent
right over, clever Gretel pushed her inside the oven
and slammed the door.
(screaming) It’s too hot! Let me out, little girl. LET ME
You are too skinny to eat now, but I will fatten you up. Little girl,
get me some gingerbread.
Gretel:
Stupid girl! Like this!
Witch:
(at the witch’s cottage)
OUT!!
Narrator: Each day, the witch fed Hansel lots of sweets and gingerbread.
And each day, she felt Hansel’s finger to see if he was fat
enough to eat, but he knew she couldn’t see well.
Witch:
Show me your finger, boy!
Hansel:
(grumbling) Still too thin!
(opening the chicken cage) Come out, Hansel.
Hansel:
Where is the wicked witch?
Gretel:
I pushed her into the oven and locked the door.
Hansel:
You are so clever and brave!

and Gretel found their way out of the dark forest, a nd
soon found their way home again.

Oh no!
Gretel:
(crying) Oh dear!

Father! We are home.
Little girl, go and cut the wood to make the oven nice and hot.

Oh my! I am sorry I let you go into the forest. I missed
you very much. Your stepmother has gone. She can
never hurt you again.
