“And his two children”

(a boy called Hansel)
In the next room the children were awake

(they couldn’t sleep because they were so hungry)
And they heard every word their stepmother said
(Gretel wept bitterly and whispered)
Oh hansel it’s the end for us
(hush don’t worry I know what we can do)
Opened the lower half of the door
(and crept outside)
The moon was shining brightly
(and the white pebbles at the front of the house glittered like silver coins)
Then we went back to sleep and got into bed and whispered
(hush Gretel stop worrying go to sleep god will protect us. Anyways I have a
plan)
What are you doing boy? Keep up your legs

(I’m looking for my white kitten he’s up on the roof he wants to say goodbye to
me)
In fact Hansel had been dropping the pebbles one by one on the path behind
them
(he was looking back to make sure that they could be seen)
When they felt it must be midday they ate their bread *Axe sound
(they could hear the sound if an axe not far away)
How can we ever find our way out
(wait until the moon comes up then you’ll see how my plan will work)
Hand in hand the two children followed the trail all through the night
(when dawn was breaking they had made it to their fathers house)
You retched children you made us so worried
(she hugged them so tightly)
If you’ve given in once you have to give in ever after

(the children were awake)
Nevertheless, he comforted his sister when he got back into bed said.
(don’t worry Gretel go to sleep now god will protect us)
Early next morning the women came and woke the children as she’d done
before
(she gave them each a piece of bread)
Hansel keep going stop looking back all the time
(I’m looking for my pet pigeon she’s up on the roof she wants to say goodbye
to me)
Hansel didn’t look back again, but he kept crumbling up the bread in his pocket
and dropped it on the path
(the woman made them all walk fast)
And it was dark when they woke up
(hush don’t cry when the moon comes up we’ll see the crumbs and find our
way home)
The thousands of birds that fly about in the woods and the fields had pecked
them up.
(we’ll find our way)
And then all through the following day
(and they were still lost)
They were hungry too
(terribly hungry)
And struggled to their feet

(they were still lost)
And with every step they seemed to be going deeper and deeper into the
forest
(if they didn’t find help soon they’d die)
It sang so beautifully that they stopped to listen
(and when it stretched its wings and flew a little way ahead)
And again it flew a little way ahead
(moving no faster than they could walk)
The bird perched up on the roof
(there was something strange about the look of that roof)
in fact
(it’s made of cake)
And as for the windows
(They were made of sugar)
Hansel broke of a piece of roof
(Whilst Gretel knocked through a window)

Nibble nibble little mouse who’s that nibbling at my house?
(the children answered)
(the wind so wild)
And they went on eating
(they were so ravenous)
And Gretel carefully pushed out another windowpane and started crunching
her way through it
(suddenly, the door opened)
And she served them a delicious meal of milk
(and pancakes with sugar and spices)
And apples
(and nuts)
Hansel was given delicious food everyday

(while she had to live off crayfish shells)
Hansel lept out as joyful as a bird that finds it’s cage open
(they were so happy)
In every corner there were trunks and chests full of precious stones
(these are better than pebbles)
Said Gretel, and filled her apron with them.
(and now lets go lets leave these witchy woods behind)
After a few hours they came to a lake
(it’s going to be difficult to get across. I can’t see a bridge anyway)
The little duck swam on up to them, and hansel climbed on to her back
(come on Gretel climb on with me)
When they were safely ashore again they walked on further

(and soon the forest began to grow more familiar)
And he was all alone and poorer than ever
(but now Gretel unfolded her little apron and shook out all the jewels
And hansel threw handful after handful after them
(so all their troubles were now over)
And they lived happily ever after
(the mouse has run)
