"Hansel and Gretel" is the core of the most classic story of Grimm's fairy tales. The two protagonists have excellent qualities of not being afraid of hardships, and both succeeded in the end.

Here I would like to share with you "Hansel and Gretel" from "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", I hope it will be helpful to you.

Hansel and Gretel On the edge of the big forest, there lived a poor woodcutter, and his wife and two children depended on him.

His son's name was Hansel and his daughter's name was Gretel.

Their family was already short of food and drink, and this year coincided with the skyrocketing domestic prices. The woodcutter's family was even more deprived of food and could not even guarantee their daily bread.

That night, the woodcutter, who was so worried that he couldn't sleep, lay in bed and was thinking hard. He sighed and groaned again.

Finally he said to his wife: "What should we do! If we don't have anything to eat, how can we feed our poor child?" "Listen to me, the child's father," his wife replied, "The baby will be born tomorrow.

Early in the morning we took the children to a distant forest, lit a fire for them there, and gave each of them a small piece of bread. Then we pretended to do our work and left them there alone.

"They don't know the way and can't go home, so we don't have to feed them anymore." "No, wife," the woodcutter said, "I can't bear to leave my children in the jungle to feed the wild animals."

Here!" "Hey, you idiot," his wife said, "If you don't do this, all four of us will starve to death!" Then she babbled and tried to persuade him endlessly, and finally, he had no choice but to

Acquiesced.

At that time, the two children were too hungry to sleep, and happened to hear the entire conversation between their stepmother and their father.

After hearing her stepmother's advice to her father, Gretel cried sadly and said to Hansel: "Now we are both doomed." "Don't say anything, Gretel," Hansel comforted her and said, "Don't worry.

I will find a way." After the two adults fell asleep, he put on his coat, opened the back door and sneaked out of the room.

The moon was shining brightly at this time, and the bright moonlight made the white pebbles in the open space in front of the house shine like pieces of silver coins.

Hansel knelt down and filled his coat pockets with as many white stones as he could.

Then he went back to the house and said to Gretel: "Don't worry, little sister, just sleep well, God will be with us." After that, he went back to his little bed to sleep.

As soon as dawn broke and the sun had not yet jumped over the horizon, the woman woke up the two children. "Get up, get up, you two slackers!" she shouted, "we are going into the mountains to chop firewood."

As she said this, she gave one of the children a small piece of bread and warned them: "This is your lunch, but don't eat it early, because you will never get anything again." Gretel took the bread and hid it in her

Hansel's apron, for Hansel's pockets were now full of white stones.

Then, the whole family headed towards the forest.

Hansel always walked for a while and then stopped and looked back at his home. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked back at his home.

When his father saw it, he said: "Hansel, why are you always looking back? Focus on walking your way." "Oh, Dad," Hansel replied: "I am looking at my white cat. He

Crouching high on the roof, you want to say 'goodbye' to me!" "That's not your kitten, little fool," the stepmother said, "that's the morning sun shining on the chimney." "In fact, Hansel didn't.

He wasn't really looking at the kitten. He quietly took out the bright white stones from his pocket and threw them one by one on the road he passed.

When they reached the depths of the forest, their father said to them: "Hey, children, go pick up some firewood, and I will make a fire for you." Hansel and Gretel picked up many dead branches and piled them up.

As high as a hill.

When the dead branches were lit and the flames rose high, the stepmother said to them: "You two lie down by the fire and stay well while your father and I go to the forest to chop wood. Once the work is finished

, we will come to take you home." So Hansel and Gretel sat by the fire, waiting for their parents to come to pick them up after finishing their work.

By noon they had eaten their little piece of bread.

Because they could always hear the bang and bang of the ax chopping down the trees, they believed that their father was nearby.

In fact, what they heard was not the sound of an ax at all, but the sound of a dead branch tied to a small tree hitting the trunk of the tree under the influence of the wind.

The brother and sister sat for a long time, so tired that their upper and lower eyelids started to fight.

Not long after, the two of them fell asleep. When they woke up from their dreams, it was already a dark night.

Gretel was so frightened that she cried and said, "Now we can't find the way out of the forest!" "Don't worry," Hansel comforted her and said, "When the moon comes out later, we will find the way out soon."
