She convinced the woodcutter to take the children into the deep forest but Hansel dropped white marbles to find their way home. They returned home at night and the stepmother was furious. The next day, she locked them in their room with little food. That night, the woodcutter again took them into the forest but Hansel left a trail of breadcrumbs which birds soon ate, leaving them lost.

    HANSEL AND GRETEL

    Once upon a time a very poor woodcutter lived in a tiny cottage in the forest with his two children, Hansel and Gretel. His second wife often ill-treated the children and was forever nagging the woodcutter. All night long, the woodcutter's wife convinced on and on at her husband until, at dawn, he led Hansel and Gretel away into the forest. But as they went into the depths of the trees, Hansel dropped a little white marble here and there on the green grassy ground. At a certain point, the two children realize they really were alone: the woodcutter had encourage himself enough to desert them, and taking all the risk to abandon them. Night fell but the woodcutter did not return. Gretel began to sob bitterly. Hansel too felt scared but he tried to hide his feelings and comfort his sister. Luckily the moon was full that night and Hansel waited till its cold light filtered through the trees. The tiny white marble glowed in the moonlight, and the children found their way home. They crept through a half open window, without wakening their parents. Cold, tired but thankful to be home again, they slipped into bed. Next day, when their stepmother discovered that Hansel and Gretel had returned, she went into a rage. Stifling her anger in front of the children, she locked her bedroom door, reproaching her husband for failing to carry out her orders. The weak woodcutter protested, confused as he was between shame and fear of disobeying his cruel wife. The wicked stepmother kept Hansel and Gretel under lock and key all day with nothing for supper but a bowl of water and some hard bread. All night, husband and wife quarreled, and when dawn came, the woodcutter led the children out into the forest.

    Hansel, however, had not eaten his bread, and as he walked through the trees, he left a trail of crumbs behind him to mark the way. But the little boy had forgotten about the hungry birds that lived in the forest. When they saw him, they flew along behind and in no time at all, had eaten all the crumbs. Again, with a lame excuse, the woodcutter left his two children by themselves.
