Just as the brother and sister thought that they were so lucky, the old lady’s eyes turned red and she laughed aloud, “Stupid children!

The witch locked (锁) Hansel in a small dark room and made Gretel cook for him. “He should be fat so that I can eat him.” One day, the witch pushed Gretel towards the oven and said, “Get in and see if the food is OK!” Gretel realized that the witch wanted to cook her too, so she cleverly answered, “Please show me how to get in the oven.” The witch shouted, “It is so easy! Look, you just need to step here and…ah!!!” Gretel pushed the old woman into the oven and closed the door. The witch couldn’t live. Gretel ran to Hansel’s room and saved him.
