The wicked witch locked Hansel in a cage. Then, she turned to Gretel and said, “You! Little girl! Help me light the oven! When it is hot, I shall cook your bother and eat him up!” Poor Gretel was so afraid!
Gretel quickly thought of a plan to save her brother. Just as the witch bent to check if the oven was hot, she gave her a big push from behind. The witch fell in to the oven with a scream and Gretel quickly locked the oven door with the witch inside!
Gretel rescued Hansel and the two children filled their pockets with all the witch’s jewels. Finally, they managed to find their way back home and gave all the jewels to their mother and father. Thanks to the clever children, the woodcutter and his family were never poor or hungry ever again!
