Visit Vons or Albertsons.com for more deals and ways to save! Hard by a great forest dwelt a poor woodcutter with his wife and his two children. The boy was called Hansel and the girl, Gretel. He had little to bite and to break, and once when great d'arth fell upon the land, he could no longer procure even daily bread. Now, when he thought over this by night in his bed and tossed about in his anxiety, he groaned and sent to his wife, what is to become of us? How are we to feed our poor children when we no longer have anything even for ourselves?
I tell you what husband answered the woman. Early in the morning we will take the children out to the forest to where it is the thickest. There we will light a fire for them and give each of them one more piece of bread. And then we will go to our work and leave them alone. They will not find the way home again and we shall be rid of them. No wife said the man, I will not do that. How can I bear to leave my children alone in the forest? The wild animals would soon come and tear them to pieces. Oh, you fool! She said. Then we must pass all four d'arth hunger and you may as well plain the planks for our coffins. And she left him no peace until he consented. But I feel very sorry for the poor children all the same said the man. The two children had also not been able to sleep for hunger and had heard what their
stepmother had said to their father. Gretel wept bitter tears and said to Hensel, now all is over with this. Be quiet, Gretel! Said Hensel, do not distress yourself. I will soon find a way to help us. And when the old folks had fallen asleep he got up, put on his little coat, opened the door below and crept outside. The moon shone brightly and the white pebbles which lay in front of the house glittered like real silver pennies. Hensel stooped and stuffed the little pocket of his coat with as many as he could get in. Then he went back and said to Gretel, be comforted dear little sister and sleep in peace. God will not forsake us. And he lay down again in his bed. When they dawned but before the sun had risen, the woman came and awoke the two children,
saying, get up you sluggards, we're going into the forest to fetch wood. She gave each a little piece of bread and said, there is something for your dinner, but do not eat it up before then, for you won't get nothing else. Gretel took the bread under her apron as Hensel had the pebbles in his pocket. Then they all sat out together on the way to the forest. When they had walked a short time, Hensel stood still and peeped back at the house and did so again and again. His father said, Hensel, what are you looking at there and staying behind for? Stay tension, and do not forget how to use your legs. Oh father, said Hensel, I'm looking at my little white cat, which is sitting up on a roof and wants to say goodbye to me. The wife said, full, that is not your little cat, that is a morning sun which is shining
on the chimneys. Hensel however had not been looking back at the cat, but had been constantly throwing one of the white pebble stones out of his pocket on the road. When they had reached the middle of the forest, the father said, now children pile up some wood and I will hide a fire that you may not be cold. Hensel and Gretel gathered brushwood together as high as a little hill. The brushwood was lighted and when the flames were burning very high, the woman said, now children, lay yourselves down by the fire and rest. We will go into the forest and cut some wood. When we have done, we will come back and fetch you away. Hensel and Gretel set by the fire and when noon came each ate a little piece of bread, and as they heard the strokes of the wood acts, they believed that their father was near.
It was not the acts however, but a branch which he had fastened to a weathered tree, which the wind was blowing backwards and forwards. And as they had been sitting such a long time, their eyes closed with fatigue and they fell fast asleep. When at last they awoke, it was already dark night. Gretel began to cry and said, how are we going to get out of the forest now? Gretel comforted her and said, just wait a little until the moon has risen and then we will soon find a way. And when the full moon had risen, Hensel took his little sister by the hand and followed the pebbles which shone like newly coined silver pieces and showed them the way. They walked the whole night long and by break of day came once more to their father's house. They knocked at the door and when the woman opened it and saw that it was Hensel and
Gretel she said, you naughty children, why have you slept so long in the forest, we thought you were never coming back at all. The father however rejoiced for it had cut him to the heart to leave them behind alone. Not long afterward there was once more great dorth throughout the land and the children heard their mother saying at night to their father, everything is eaten again. We have one half loaf left and that is the end. The children must go. We will take them farther into the wood so that they will not find their way out again. There is no other means of saving ourselves. The man's heart was heavy and he thought it would be better for you to share the last mouthful with your children. The woman however wouldn't listen to nothing that he had to say but scolded and reproached
him. He who says, a, must say b likewise and as he had yielded the first time he had to do so a second time also. The children however were still awake and had heard the conversation. When the old folks were asleep, Hansel again got up and wanted to go out and pick up pebbles as he had done before but the woman had locked the door and Hansel could not get out. Nevertheless he comforted his little sister and said, do not cry, Gretel, go to sleep quietly. The good God will help us. The in the morning came the woman and took the children out of their beds. Their peace of bread was given to them but it was still smaller than the time before. On the way into the forest Hansel crumbled his in his pocket and often stood still and threw a morsel on the ground.
Hansel, why do you stop and look round? Said the father, go on. I am looking back at my little pigeon which is sitting on the roof and wants to say goodbye to me. Answered Hansel. Foo said the woman, that is not your little pigeon, that is a morning sun that's shining on a chimney. Hansel however little by little threw all the crumbs on the path. The woman let the children still deeper into the forest where they had never in their lives been before. Then a great fire was made again and the mother said, just sit there you children and when you're tired you may sleep a little. We are going into the forest cut wood and in evening when we are done we'll come back and fetch you away. When it was noon Gretel shared her peace of bread with Hansel who had scattered his by
the way. Then they fell asleep and evening passed but no one came to the poor children. They did not awake until it was dark night and Hansel comforted his little sister and said, just wait Gretel until the moon rises and then we shall see the crumbs of bread which I have strewn about. They will show us our way home again. When the moon came they set out but they found no crumbs. For the many thousands of birds which fly about in the woods and fields had picked them all up. Hansel said to Gretel, we shall soon find the way but they did not find it. They walked the whole night and the next day too from morning till evening but they did not get out of the forest and they were very hungry. So they had nothing to eat but two or three berries which grew on the ground and as they
were so weary that their legs would carry them no longer they lay down beneath the tree and fell asleep. This is Matt Rogers from Los Culturistas with Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang.

It was now 3 mornings since they had left their father's house. They began to walk again but they always came deeper into the forest. And if helped did not come soon, they must die of hunger and weariness. When it was midday they saw beautiful snow white birds sitting on a bow, which sang so delightfully that they stood and listened to it. And when its song was over it spread its wings and flew away before them. And they followed it until they reached a little house, on the roof of which it elided, and when they approached the little house they saw that it was built of bread and covered with cakes, but that the windows were of clear sugar. We were set to work on that, said Hansel, and have a good meal.
I will eat a bit of the roof and you, Gretel, can eat some of the window. It will taste sweet. Hansel reached up and broke off a little of the roof to try how it tasted. And Gretel went against the window and nibbled at the pains. Then a soft voice cried from the parlor. Nibble nibble, no, who is nibbling at my little house. The children answered, the wind, the wind, the heaven-born wind. And went on eating without disturbing themselves. Hansel, who liked the taste of the roof, tore down a great piece of it, and Gretel pushed out the whole of one round window-pain, sat down and enjoyed herself with it. Suddenly the door opened and a woman as old as the hills, who supported herself on crutches, came creeping out. Hansel and Gretel were so terribly frightened that they let fall what they had in their hands.
The old woman, however, nodded her head and said, Oh, you dear children, who has brought you here, do come in and stay with me. No harm shall happen to you. She took them both by the hand and led them into her little house. Then good food was set before them, milk and pancakes with sugar, apples, and nuts. The word, two pretty little beds were covered with clean white linen, and Hansel and Gretel lay down in them and thought they were in heaven. The old woman, who had only pretended to be so kind, she was in reality a wicked witch, who lay in wait for children, and had only built a little house of bread in order to entice them there. When a child fell into her power, she killed it, cooked and ate it, and that was a feast
day with her. Witches have red eyes and cannot see far, but they have a keen scent like the beasts and are aware when human beings draw near. When Hansel and Gretel came into her neighborhood, she laughed with malice and said mockingly, Ha, I have them, they shall not escape me again. Lay in the morning before the children were awake, she was already up, and when she saw both of them sleeping and looking so pretty, with her plump and rosy cheeks, she muttered to herself. That's a little be a dainty mouthful. Then she seized Hansel, with her shriveled hand, carried him into a little stable and locked him in behind a grated door. Dream as he might, it would not help him. Then she went to Gretel, shook her till she awoke and cried.
Get it, lazy thing, fetch some water, and cook something for your brother. He is in the stable outside, and is to be made fat. When he is fat, I will eat him. Hansel began to weep betterly, but it was all in vain, for she was forced to do what the wicked witch commanded. And now the best food was cooked for poor Hansel, but Gretel got nothing but crab shells. Every morning the woman crept to the little stable and cried, Hansel, stretch out your finger that I may feel if you will soon be fat. Little however, stretched out a little bone to her, and the old woman who had dim eyes could not see it, and thought it was Hansel's finger, and was astonished that there was no way of fattening him.
When four weeks had gone by, and Hansel still remained thin, she was seized with impatience and would not wait any longer. Now then, Gretel, she cried to the girl, stir yourself and bring some water. Let Hansel be fat or lean. Tomorrow I will kill him, and cook him. Ah, how the poor little sister did lament when she had fetched the water, and how her tears did flow down her cheeks. Dear God, do help us, she cried. If the wild beasts in the forest had but devoured us, we should at any rate have died together. Just keep your nose to yourself, said the old woman, it will tell you at all. Early in the morning Gretel had to go out and hang up the cauldron with the water, and
light the fire. We will bake first, said the old woman, I have already heated the oven and needed the dough. She pushed poor Gretel out of the oven, from which flames of fire were already darting. Creep in, said the witch, and see if it is properly heated, so that we can put the bread in. And once Gretel was inside, she intended to shut the oven and let her bake in it, and then she would eat her too. But Gretel saw what she had in mind, and said, I do not know how I am to do it, how do I get in? Silly goose, said the woman, the doer's big enough, just look, I can see it, I can get in it myself. And she crept up and thrust her head into the oven.
Then Gretel gave her a push that drove her far into it, and shut the iron door and fastened the boat. Then she began to howl quite horribly, but Gretel ran away, and the godless witch was miserably burnt to death. Gretel however ran like lightning to Hansel, opened his little stable and cried, Hansel, are we saved? The old witch is dead! Then Hansel sprang like a bird from its cage, when the doer's opened. How they did rejoice and embrace each other and dance about and kiss each other, and as they had no longer any need to fear her, they went into the witch's house and in every corner there stood chests full of pearls and jewels. "'These are far better than the pebbles,' said Hansel, and thrust into his pockets whatever could be got in,' and Gretel said, "'I too will take something home with me, and
filled her pen of four full. "'But now we must be off,' said Hansel, that we may get out of the witch's forest. And they had walked for two hours, they came to a great stretch of water. "'We cannot cross,' said Hansel, "'I see no foot plank and no bridge, and there is also no fairy,' answered Gretel, but a white duck swimming there, if I ask her she will help us over,' and then she cried. Little duck, little duck, doused out sea, Hansel and Gretel are waiting for thee. There's never a plank or bridge in sight. Take us across on the back so white. The duck came to them and Hansel seated himself on its back and told his sister to sit by him. No, replied Gretel, that would be too heavy for the little duck.
She shall take us across one after the other. The little duck did so, and when they were once safely across and had walked for a short time, the forest seemed to be more and more familiar to them, and at length they saw from afar their father's house. They began to run, rushed into the parlor, and threw themselves around their father's neck. The man had not known one happy hour since he had left the children in the forest. The woman, however, was dead. Gretel emptied her pennefor until pearls and precious stones ran about the room. And Hansel threw one handful after another out of his pocket to add to them. And all anxiety was at an end, and they lived together in perfect happiness. My tale is done. There runs a mouse, whosoever catches it, may make himself a big fur cap out of it.
End of Hansel and Gretel. By the Grim brothers, also known as the Brothers Grim.
