Hansel and Gretel
Class 4& 5 Grade 4

Narrator: Once upon a time there lived a woodcutter（伐木工）and his wife was a stepmother(继母) to his two children whose names Hansel and Gretel. They were very poor and did not have much to eat.
Stepmother: Dinner!
Hansel: It’s only a slice of bread, but we are starving（饿死了）.
Stepmother: What do you want? With so little money, all we can eat is bread.
Father: We have almost no more food for our family. I’m afraid we will all die.
Hansel: Oh, Father, we will overcome（克服） the difficulties（困难）.
Step mother: Oh, why did I marry a poor woodcutter?
Gretel: Poor Dad. Always in trouble.

Narrator: Hansel and Gretel finished the last crumbs（面包屑） on the plates and went to their room. They blew out the candle and tried to sleep.
Gretel: What’s that noise?
Hansel: Sorry, it’s my tummy. I was thinking of chocolate and marshmallows（棉花糖）.
Gretel: Oh don’t. I’m so hungry and I can’t sleep.

Narrator: As they listened to their tummies rumble（隆隆响）, they heard more nagging(唠叨) downstairs.
Stepmother: The problem is, there just not enough（足够） food for the four of us. The children will have to go.
Father: What?
Stepmother: Do you have a better idea?
Father: How has it come to this?
Stepmother: Tomorrow, We’ll take them in the forest with little bread, and leave（留） them there.
Father: But I can’t leave in the forest! The wild animals will kill them.
Stepmother: You must! And you’ll never know-someone may find them and take them home.

Narrator: The poor father was afraid of his wife. He said nothing. The children were in bed and heard their father and step mother said.
Gretel: I’m scared. What are we going to do?
Hansel: Don’t worry. I’m sure God will take care of us.
Fairy: Don’t be scared, Hansel and Gretel. Let me help you.
Hansel and Gretel: Thank you, kind fairy.

Narrator: Quietly Hansel went outside and filled with pockets with small white stones. When morning came, they pretended(假装) they knew nothing.
Father: Today we are going deep into the forest to cut some wood. Get your things. Here is some bread. Put in your pockets.
Mother: Hurry up!

Narrator: As they walked along. Hansel stopped and looked around, and dropped one small white stone on the ground.
Father: Why do you keep stopping and looking back?
Hansel: Oh, I thought I saw a squirrel in the trees.
Mother: Here is a nice place to rest Why don’t you lie down and rest here?
Father: We’re going to cut some more wood. We’ll come back for you.
Gretel: Father, don’t leave us here for long time.
Mother: Hurry up! We have to work! Come on!

Narrator: Hansel and Gretel was tired, they ate their bread and went to sleep. When they woke up, it was dark.
Gretel: It’s dark and I’m cold. What will happen to us now?
Hansel: Cheer up. We’ll find our way back home.
Gretel: But how can we do that? We’re so far away from home.
Hansel: Don’t worry. I dropped some white stones along the way. So we can follow them back our home.
Gretel: How smart you are, Hansel!

Narrator: Holding hands, Hansel and Gretel followed stones back to their home. Father was happy and hugged them.
Hansel and Gretel: Father, we were lost in the forest.
Father: It’s happy to see you, children. I’m very sorry.
Hansel: It’s all right.
Stepmother: Stupid children. Why did you stay here? Go to your room quickly.

Narrator: But the stepmother was very angry. She locked the children in their room.
Mother: We’ll take them deeper into the forest this time, they’ll never find their way out!
Father: Please! Don’t make me do this. How can leave my children to die?
Mother: What? Do you want us all to starve(饿死)?
Father: Of course not.
Mother: Then shut up.
Gretel: I’m scared.
Hansel: Shhh… we are locked and I can’t pick up some stones. But I’m sure, we can come back home again.

Narrator: When morning came, they started to walk into the forest with little bread. As they walked, Hansel took little piece of bread and dropped them along the way. But the hungry birds ate the bread.
Mother: Another lovely place for a rest.
Father: Stay here while I finish chopping wood. I’ll come back for you.
Gretel: What are we going to do now?
Hansel: Don’t worry, I have dropped some bread along the way. Come, follow me.
Gretel: No! There is a blackbird eating crumbs. (crying)
Hansel: Don’t worry. God will take care of us.
Fairy: Be brave, children. Keep walking, you can find the way out. Good luck to you!
Hansel and Gretel: Yes, we should be brave. Thank you, kind fairy.

Narrator: They fell asleep, cold and hungry, but they didn’t be afraid any more. The next day they walked and walked, finally they saw a little house. And what a special house it was!
Gretel: Look at this wonderful house. It’s made of cookies and candies
Hansel: Pink cake bricks(砖头).
Gretel: And a gingerbread door!
Hansel: It looks delicious.
Gretel: And tastes even better. I eat the windowsill(窗台). They’re made of chocolate.
Hansel: I try some roof(屋顶), it’s sugar!

Narrator: As they were eating, an old witch came out of the house. She was an evil witch. She made the house to trap(诱捕) children.
Witch: Enjoying my house, are you?
Gretel: Yes, it’s delicious… I mean amazing.
Witch: Come inside, my children. And I will give something ever better to eat.
Hansel: Thank you. You are very kind to help us. I hope we don’t make you angry by eating your house.
Witch: Not at all. Would you like to stay the night?.

Witch: Dear me, you are all bones. Eat more, boy! I will make you fat!
Hansel: Let me out you old witch!
Gretel: Hansel! What happened?
Hansel: That woman is a witch. She’s trapped me with a spell. Now she wants fatten me up and eat me.
Fairy: Hansel and Gretel. Be brave. You can trick her and go back home.

Witch: Hold out your finger, show me how fat you are. You are very skinny. But I will wait no longer. I am going to eat you. Gretel, you are just in time to help me cook.
Gretel: Yes, Madman.
Witch: Open the oven door and check to see if it’s hot enough.
Gretel: I don’t know how to do that.
Witch: You stupid girl. Let me show you how it is done….ah….

Hansel: Gretel, You’ve saved me. You are so brave and smart!
Gretel: And I’ve cooked the witch. Let’s go back home.
Narrator: In the witch’s house they found a lot of gold and silver. They carried as much as they could and started go back home.
Father: It’s good to see you. Your stepmother was dead. I’m very sorry. I’ll never leave you again.
Hansel and Gretel: Look, Father, we’re rich now. Let’s live together happily ever after.
