Once upon a time in a little town, there was a poor family who had too many problems with money…One day, one of the two children:Gretel heard her parents talking :
«We can’t handle that , we don’t even have enough food for this week!!You have too do something…said the mom angrily »
«But what do you want me to do, I can’t ask for money to someone else, no one trust me and everyone in this town has problems. »
« With two children we cant live properly. »
« I have an idea, you said we could’nt live with two children. »
« Yes..so? »
« Without them,we will have enough food to eat, enough money to live!» -answered the selfish dad
« You want to kill our children!!» cried the mother
« Not necessairly kill them but… listen tonight you’re tell me if your alright with it »

The girl went directly to her brother and told him what their parents wanted to do.The morning after, the parents decided what to do with the kids.The father had to take the kids with him in the woods and to came back home while the children were lost in the woods but when he tried to come back home Hansel,the boy saw him:
«Where are you going dad?»
«Nowhere…said the dad afraid of what they could think »
«Why are you lying?You thought you could let us here,dying…»
Gretel arrived behind her father and punch him in the head…When he woke,up it was night and they were far in the forest, even him who knew the woods couldn’t know where they were:
«Listen kids, i know you are angry with me but we have to came back home it’s dangerous here..-told the sad dad
« We can’t,we are lost but i saw a house right there!»

The kids ran to the house and saw that it was an house made of candy.When the dad arrived a woman got out of the house and she invited them in the house.But this woman was mean and she liked to eat people,real people.
The wicked women locked the chidren and the dad who was not very strong in a cell. But she was a little blind and she let the key next to the kids.They took the keys and got out but Gretel came back to open the cell of the dad. «Come with us»
«Are you sure» said the father ashamed about what he did»
She took the hand of her dad and they ran away from the cell.The two kids and the dad saw the woman and she tried to catch them but the smart Hansel succeeded in locking her in her own cell. But the father didnt notice that Gretel tied him next to the oven.
«Gretel!!WHY DID YOU TIE ME! »asked the dad pitifully
«You should have tought about it before to try to kill us» said the smilling girl
«But…-»
«At least WE will have enough food to eat ,and enough money because I found gold here.»

Before leaving the house the two kids unlock the door of the wicked woman ,took a map and ran away to their house.When, the mom saw the she looked surprised but she told them:
«Where is your dad!!»
«IN THE FOREST,HE IS IN DANGER!!»
She followed them in the forest and when she entered the house the two kids who had kept keys locked her in the candy house. We could hear the scream of the women, who saw the skeleton of her husband on the flooor
«Kids!! Unlock the door ! »
The children came back home and lived an happily ever after without their parents.
