One night, Hansel and Gretel were so hungry that they could not go to sleep. They heard their parents having this conversation:

“We have no more food. Hansel and Gretel are a problem now! They have to go!” said the stepmother.

“Oh, no! My poor children!” the father replied.

“It’s the only solution!” she said. “Tomorrow, we’ll take the children deep into the forest and leave them there.”

Gretel started to cry.

“Shhh! Be quiet!” said Hansel. “Don’t worry! I have an idea!”
