What will happen to Hansel and Gretel?

Mariam Hello again, I’m Mariam. It’s time to find out how our story of Hansel and Gretel turns out . Do you remember, they’re eating a house made of sweets? Yes, well this is a fairy tale!

So the children are eating this house made of sweets when suddenly out pops a witch who lives there. She turns to the children and threatens to eat them - that’s not very nice, is it?! She grabs hold of them and locks them in a cage. This old witch is quite good at cooking children, so she’s not going to turn her nose up at the chance of using them in her soup. As Hansel has just turned eight, he’s the oldest, and so she decides to cook him first. She starts to boil up a big pot of water but doesn’t realise that behind her, Gretel has escaped from her cage. Gretel gives the wicked witch a big push and the witch falls straight into the boiling water - bye bye witch - she’s dead.

Then the children have to find their way home, but before they do they find lots of treasure lying around the house. They quickly gather it all up and make their way home.

They walk for miles but eventually they get home and are greeted by their father, who tells them that their stepmother has died - hooray! The children sell the treasure and in turn use the money to buy food - and they never go hungry again.

Well, a happy ending then - unless you’re the wicked witch or the evil stepmother. I hope you enjoyed the story and I hope you’ll join me again for another one soon.
