Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel were the children of a poor woodcutter. One day, the children’s stepmother
persuaded their father to take the children and abandon them in the forest. The first time, Hansel
left a trail of pebbles along the way and found the way back. Next time, the father took them
deeper into the forest, and Hansel left breadcrumbs to find their way back. But when the children
tried to find their way back home they found that the birds had eaten the crumbs. So the children
were lost in the woods.
They wandered in the forest and soon discovered a house made entirely of gingerbread
and sweets. Hungry and tired, the children began to eat the rooftop of the house when the door
opens. An old woman – the owner of the house – kindly invited them inside. Not knowing that
this old woman was a witch who built a gingerbread house to lure children into her trap. She
imprisoned Hansel and made Gretel her slave. The old witch planned to eat both children.
When the witch made preparations to bake Hansel, she told Gretel to start the fire. Gretel
lied that she couldn’t tell if the fire in the oven had started. The witch shoved her aside and
leaned into the oven to check. Gretel pushed the witch into the oven and shut the door, then she

Black and hairy, very small
Now he’s up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Now he’s dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he’s as scared as me
Where’s he gone now, I can’t see

Cut Nyak Dhien was born into an Islamic aristocratic family in Aceh Besar in VI mukim district in 1848. Her father,
Teuku Nanta Setia, was a member of the ruling Ulèë Balang aristocratic class in VI mukim, and her mother was also
from an aristocrat family. She was educated in religion and household matters. She was renowned for her beauty,
and many men proposed to her until her parents arranged for her marriage to Teuku Cek Ibrahim Lamnga, the son
of aristocrat family, when she was twelve.
On 26 March 1873, Dutch declared war on Aceh. During the first part of this war, the First Aceh Expedition,
Aceh was led by Panglima Polem and Sultan Alauddin Mahmud Syah II. The Dutch army sent 3,000 soldiers led by

Royals
(By: Lorde)
I’ve never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I’m not proud of my address
In a torn-up town, no postcode envy
*) But every song’s like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin’ in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin’ the hotel room
We don’t care, we’re driving Cadillacs in our dreams
But everybody’s like Cristal, Maybach, diamonds on your timepiece
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash
We don’t care, we aren’t caught up in your love affair
**) And we’ll never be royals (royals).
It don’t run in our blood
That kind of luxe just ain’t for us
We crave a different kind of buzz
Let me be your ruler (ruler)
You can call me Queen Bee
And baby I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule, I’ll rule
Let me live that fantasy
My friends and I – we’ve cracked the code
We count our dollars on the train to the party
And everyone who knows us knows that we’re fine with this
We didn’t come from money
Back to *)
Back to **)
Ooh ooh oh
We’re bigger than we ever dreamed
And I’m in love with being queen
Ooh ooh oh
Life is great without a care
We aren’t caught up in your love affair
