forest a man and his wife are talking. They are very poor and they have no
food. The wife has a solution but the father doesn’t like it.

leave the two children in the forest!!! We have no money and no food!
Father: What are you
saying??? No way!!!
Stepmother: They can
look after themselves so we can have some food!
Father: I don’t like
the idea…but I suppose it is what we have to do…
Narrator: The
children are listening; they are so hungry they can’t sleep. Gretel starts
crying…
Gretel: What can we
do?
Hansel: Don’t worry.
I know what to do! Please don’t cry!
Narrator: He goes to
the garden and looks all around, then he picks up some pebbles. // The next day
they go into the forest.And then their
stepmother said:
Stepmother: Let’s
stop for a while! Here’s a good place!

father is sad, there are tears on his face.
Father: Wait here and be careful!

children wait quietly until the night arrived. Then Gretel was worried.

going to come!

children arrived home.
