They lived with their father and, stepmother ina tiny cottage at the edge of a huge forest. Their father was a woodcutter and he was very, very poor. One day the woodcutter said to his wife We have no money left and I can't afford to buy any more food, ‘The woodcutter didn’t know what to do. But his wife had an Idea. ‘Take the children into the forest and leave them there. That. way we will have two less mouths to feed. ‘The woodcutter was very unhappy, but his wife insisted and finally he agreed. Hansel and Gretel had been listening at the door and Gretel was very frightened, but Hansel had aplan. (To Gretel)| know what to do. Hansel crept out of the house and gathered together lots of little white pebbles which he put in his pocket. The next day, the woodcutter and his wife took Hansel and Gretel into the forest. As they walked, Hansel dropped the pebbles on tothe path: After a while they came to a clearing and the ‘woodcutter told the children to wait. We are going to collect some wood. When they did not return, Hansel and Gretel began towalk. They could see the little white pebbles gleaming in the ‘moonlight and they followed them all the way home. Song 1.

He crumbled up the bread and as they walked he dropped a trail of crumbs, But the birds saw the tasty crumbs and flew down to eat them Peck, peck, peck, peck. Peck, peck, peck, peck. Then the woodeutter returned home, leaving Hansel and Gretel once again. ‘The moon began to shine but the crumbs had all gone, What could they do? Hansel and Gretel wandered further into the forest. They were very tired and very hungry. They walked and walked. ‘Then, justas they thought they could walk no more, they saw a very strange house. The windows and the roof, the chimney, the door and even the walls were all made from sweets and cakes, The children couldn't believe their eyes. Hansel broke off a little piece of the wall and put it into his mouth, Mmm, gingerbread! Then Grete! broke off a little piece of the door.GRETEL Mmm, chocolate! Hac What a wonderful house! ‘Song 2.
