Hansel & Gretel

As the pair neared the house, a delicious smell wafted past . "Freshly baked cakes!" cried Gretel. She ran closer... and gasped. The walls were made from chunks of cake and the roof was glistening chocolate. "It looks scrumptious," she said, hardly believing her eyes. "And tastes even better," mumbled Hansel, already munching on a windowsill. Even the windows smelled sweet. Gretel licked one. "It's sugar!"

Hansel, Gretel, their father and stepmother live together. But they have a little food. So stepmother wants to take Hansel and Gretel deep into the forest. They don't know what to do. Then, they find a little house. The house is made of cake, chocolate, sugar and so on. They smell sweet. They meet an old woman and go inside the house. They have many sweet things. But the old woman wants to eat Hansel. Gretel saves Hansel. Finally, they go home and live happily with their father.
I thought stepmother was cruel person. Hensel and Gretel was so poor. But they cooperate in any situation. I was impressed their bond. But I was surprised to know the old woman was frightening person. But it was good for them to escape the woman. I wish them a happy life.
