                            Hansel and Gretel
A long time ago, there was a brother and a sister,Hansel and Gretel.
Hansel and Gretel's Dad and step mother abandoned them in a deep dark forest.
“I'm afraid“ Gretel said crying
“Don't worry!”Hansel said, "Look what I ve done!! I took a piece of bread and
dropped tiny crumbs! Let’s follow the breadcrumbs and go home!!”
But when they went to see… Guess what!!!The birds had eaten all the breadcrumbs!
Now Hansel and Gretel were LOST. Lost In the dark, cold forest.
They walked, and walked and walked…
When all of a sudden: “LOOK!”A house! “ Gretel said.
This was a very special house
Mmm !!The windows are sugar!!! The doors are chocolate!! MMM!! “Hansel said
happily
MMM !! Delicious!!Try the roof! It's a big, yummy cake! Try! Yummy Yummy!!“ Gretel
said.“Mmm! Yummy!”MMM! Delicious!!“
Hansel and Gretel were eating and tasting the house happily when an old ugly witch
appeared and…BANG!The witch took Hansel and locked him in a cage!
“You! You’ll cook him… when he’s FAT!!” the witch ordered Gretel
Every day, the witch fed Hansel.
“You’re too thin!” she said.
Until one day, the witch said:“Fat or thin I’ll eat you, Hansel !Today!!”
The witch made a fire.She licked her lips:“MMM Yummy, Yummy! I'll eat Hansel
today!”
At that moment, Gretel pushed the witch into the fire
“AHHHHHHHHHHH!”And she was GONE!
“THE WITCH IS DEAD!”Gretel shouted.
Then she opened Hansel's cage.
They found a treasure—diamonds! Pearls! Gold!
And then… they RAN! And RAN! And RAAAAAN!
Until they got…Home.Now they were safe, they were happy and rich.
And that, dear children,was the story of Hansel and Gretel.
Ger,
You've done a very good job checking our comments in order to simplify the story
and adapt it to be told. Check our comments and let us know if there is something
which is still not clear.
