HANSEL AND GRETEL A FAIRY TALE RETOLD BY ABIGAIL BRUMBAUGH

Famine had struck North Korea, where Hansel and Gretel’s family lived. Their abusive mother was going to leave them in the woods because they ate to much. But Hansel was awake and heard her scheme. Hansel snuck out of the house and found white rice.

The next day he and his sister, Gretel, were brought out into the woods and left there to die.

But Hansel had laid a path of rice to lead him and his sister back home. They return home and their mother locks them in the house so they can’t gather anymore rice. The next morning they are left in the woods.

Hansel tried to use noodles to lead him back home but they were eaten by birds and they get lost. They find a house in the woods with food inside and eat the food.

As they were eating the roof, a man came out of the house and lured them inside, promising them shelter. But they are unaware that the man was a cannibal dictator, who planed to eat the children.

The man locked Hansel in a cage and forced Gretel to become a slave. The man would give Hansel food, and Hansel would use a bone to retrieve the food, and the man would think him too thin to eat. After weeks of waiting he decided to eat him no matter how thin he was.

He prepared an oven to cook him in, and the man asked Gretel to see how hot the oven was, but Gretel pretending not to understand asked the man what he was talking about. The man leaned in to check the oven and Gretel pushed man in and slammed the oven shut, leaving the man to burn and die

Gretel freed Hansel and they gathered the man’s treasure. They return home to their father, and find out their mother had died. The family lived happily ever after with the man’s money.

The End
