Title: Hansel and Gretel

Author: Wilhelm Grimm & Jacob Grimm

Hansel and Gretel are a German fairy tale collected by the

Brothers Grimm. Hansel and Gretel, are a brother and sister abandoned in a forest, where
they fall into the hands of a cannibalistic witch who leaves in the house made of
gingerbread, cake, and pastries.
Once upon a time there lived a woodcutter and his wife.
Their early days were lived in bliss in a small wood cottage with their two children, Hansel
and Gretel. These two children grew up to be wise beyond their years.
The most exciting part is when Hansel gave Gretel a signal to push the evil witch into
the boiling pot of water, so they could escape the evil witch.
Ordinary, because the two siblings lived in happiness together and some of the stories
that I have read is similar to this story because they lived happy in their lives too, so the
ending is just ordinary.
The moral of the story is don’t trust strangers and don’t disobey your parents.
