Come on, children. We're going into the forest to chop wood, "she told them
With a heavy heart, the woodcutter led his children
into the forest. As they walked along, Hansel dropped the
ebbles from his pockets onto the path
When they reached the middle of the forest, the
woodcutter said, wwait here. We'll be back as soon as we' ve
finished chopping wood
Hansel and Gretel waited all day, but their father and
stepmother didn't come back. Soon, it was dark among the
thick trees. Gretel was frightened
We'll find our way home, Hansel comforted
his sister
When the moon rose high in the sky, th
white pebbles that Hansel had
left on the path lit up. He
grabbed his sisters hand
“ ome on, Gretel,the
pebbles will show us the
way home!
When Hansel and
Gretel returned, the
woodcutter was
relieved to see his
children again, but their
stepmother was furious.
