One day, the old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the
house. She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and begged
the witch to let them go.
Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never
tried to get rid of the children. “I must find them,” she said and set off into the
forest.
Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were dry
from thirst, she came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother
peeped through the window. Her heart cried out when she saw the two
children.
She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The witch
was putting some stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an almighty
push. The witch fell into the oven and the stepmother shut the door.
‘Children, I have come to save you,’ she said hugging them tightly. I have done
a dreadful thing.
I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you home and become a family
again. They returned to their home and the stepmother became the best
mother anyone could wish to have, and of course they lived happily ever after!

parrot would not say it. Then the man got to so angry that the shouted over
and over, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!” but the bird wouldn’t talk.
One day after trying for many hours to make the bird say Catano, the man got
very angry. He picked up the bird and threw him into the chicken house. “You
are more stupid than the chickens. Soon I will eat them, and I will eat you,
too.”
In the chicken house there are four old chickens. They were for Sunday’s
dinner. The man put the parrot in the chicken house and left.

and stopped. He was very surprised at what he saw!
He saw three dead chickens on the floor. The parrot was screaming at the
fourth chicken, “Say Catano, or I’ll kill you!
