Hansel and Gretel

Once upon a time there were two evil kids, one was called Hansel and the other was called Gretel. Both were as evil as each other. Gretel looked like a sweet little girl with blond hair and blue eyes and she wore a cute little pink dress. Hansel looked like a real gentleman, he had brown hair and blue eyes and he wore some denim dungarees. But they were not cute and cuddly, they were evil. Who knows why? Their parents were so very kind and they were so rich that they got everything they wanted. They lived in an enormous mansion in the outskirts of Goldenville where all the rich people lived.

One day, they all went to the mall to get the kids everything that they wanted. First they went into a lolly shop, they gave the kids $20 each to spend, but that was not enough. The children cried and begged and they got $50 and they spent it ALL!!! Gretel managed to save a little of the money in case of emergencies.

Next they went to a car shop to get a new car for their Dad. Hansel and Gretel had different ideas, they wanted a self-driving limo and there they saw one. “That will be perfect for us,” said Hansel and they hopped in for a test drive. Ahh!!! They got a humungous fright. There right in front of them sat The Evil Fairy (dun, dun, dunnn…).

Suddenly The Evil Fairy flew off into the sky taking Hansel and Gretel with her. Gretel, the smarter one, opened the window and started to drop coins out of it. This created a trail and they could find their way home, once they got free from The evil fairy. Seemingly they thought they had been in the air for hours. Back at the mall their parents were still in amazement and sad their little babies were gone, but happy also, because they could finally have time to themselves and for their dream - making mud pies.

(Eeer…) Hansel and Gretel’s trip had finally come to a stop. “Get out!” said The Evil Fairy. They stood in shock at what was before them - a 5-storey house made of lollies, chocolate and gingerbread. Walking in the gate they snapped off a piece and ate it. It was the best thing they had ever tasted in their entire life. Suddenly it grew back, “It grows back don’t wear it out,” said The Evil Fairy. “I want you to eat lots and lots of food to keep your strength up,” said The Evil Fairy, but really she wanted them to get fat so that she could eat them. Locking them up into separate bedrooms so they could not plot an escape was a very big challenge for The Evil Fairy.

She would give the children a three course meal every hour on the hour and it was impossible to resist the lovely food she had cooked for them.
Day by day, week by week, they began to get so fat they could not see their feet. Then The Evil Fairy said to herself: “they’re ready to be cooked for my best meal yet.” She got the kids to hop into a warm bath, but really, she wanted them to hop into the boiling pot of water.

Hansel said, “This is a bit hot for me.”
“Me too,” said Gretel.
“Ha, ha,” cackled The Evil Fairy, “it’s not a bath,” she said.
“Then you must be cooking us,” said Gretel.
“Aah, that’s correct,” and you’re too late to stop me,” said The Evil Fairy.
“Maybe, but if we get cooked you get cooked with us,” said Hansel. They pulled her into the pot and they did not live happily ever after.

However, Hansel and Gretel’s Mum and Dad lived happily ever after because they adopted two lovely little kids called Ancil and Kettle.

The End.
