BR 1-14: Hansel & Gretel


This story is very popular story. I have heard this story's title but I haven't read it.

This story is about Hansel, Gretel, their stepmother, the woodcutter and the witch. Hansel and Gretel were poor children. Their stepmother plot to kill them for her life. Stepmother and the woodcutter talked about how to kill them. The woodcutter couldn't say anything. But Hansel and Gretel heard it. And Hansel collected white and stuffed them into his pockets.

One day, the stepmother went out with her children and she left her children in the dark forest. She thought they couldn't back home. But Hansel dropped pebbles on their way. And they could back home.

Next, the stepmother went into very deep forest with her children. This time, Hansel dropped on his way but it was bread!! So it is eaten by birds. They couldn't back home. They were in very low spirits. All day they walked. At moon, they finally founded a little house. This house was made from confectionery. For example, the walls were made from chunks of cake and the roof was glistening chocolate.

They were glad to find it. At that time, old woman took form in the house. The old woman greeted them with a smile and gave them a lot of confectionary. They couldn't believe their luck. They stayed in this house.

Next morning, Gretel woke up to see sun streaming onto Hansel's bed. But Hansel wasn't there. She thought he was already eating breakfast. She went a kitchen but he wasn't there. When she went outside, she found him in the shed. He was locked up in the shed. He said “That woman is a witch. She is trapped me with a spell. Now she wants to fatten me up and eat me!!"

One time, the witch said “Gretel get inside the oven and check how warm it is." But she said "I can't fit in there because my head is too big." The witch got inside the oven and Gretel slammed the oven doors. As the wicked witch frazzled in her own oven, her spell on the shed was broken. Hansel could come out of the shed.

Taking pity on Hansel and Gretel the birds showed them the way home. The woodcutter was overjoyed to see them. The stepmother left there to live in a new brick house. So they were live happily.

I think this story is great!! Hansel and Gretel are so wonderful!!! And I want to go house made from cake hahaXD
