Once upon a time there was a very poor family. The father was a wood cutter who was very sweet and loved his two children very much. His children Hansel and Retell were very smart children and also loved their father very much. Their mother had died and now they had a very mean mother that nobody liked. Their mother didn't worked and was always complaining at how little food they had.

One day the Hansel heard his step-mother talking about a plan to get rid of him and Gretel He was shocked to hear his father agree to the plan but thought up a way to get out of it.
The next day Hansel collected many many white rocks and put them in his pocket. When it got dark their father led them deep into the forest but Hansel dropped rocks every few steps. Their father left and after eating a bit of bread they started to try to get back home. hey soon found their trail of rocks and quickly found their way home.

The next day their step-mom was so horrible mad that she locked the two children in their room and gave them only one slice of bread an d a few drops of water. That night they went back into the forest and Hansel dropped small bits of his own bread. When they were deep into the forest their father left and then they started to try to find their way back. Hansel had forgotten about the hungry birds and after he had dropped the bread the birds the had eaten it. They try to find their way back but soon decide they were lost.

All of a sudden they came across a house. Gretel was about to knock on the door and ask for help but when she put her and to the door she realized it was ginger bread. Then Hansel took part of the gutters and it was chocolate.

"Oh my gosh! It's delicious!" Gretel said.

"Ha, ha, ha!" An ugly witch stepped out from behind the gingerbread house.

She dragged them into her house.

"You" She said pointing at Hansel, "I will eat. Then you-little girl- I will make you my servant and then I will eat you too." She said looking at Gretel

She locked Hansel in a cage and tired to fatten him up before she ate him. The witch didn't have very good eyesight and every day he would stick out a bone that Gretel gave him and she would say that he was not fat enough.

This happened for 3 days and then she decide that she was going to eat him any way.
"Girl get my pot and fill it it hot water." Gretel did what she was told. When the witch unlocked the cage Hansel pushed the witch into the pot. Gretel took a map and her gold from her kitchen and they ran all the way home.

Their father was crying but when he saw them he ran to them and greeted them with a hug.

"Your mother is dead and now we have enough money that I won't have to work and we will always have enough food."

Their father said and he was right. From that day on they lived happily ever after.
