"No, that's cruel." The father replied.
"Good, then go and find something to eat."
My father had to agree because I was too poor.
Hearing the news, Hansen and Gretel are very sad. The clever Hansel sneaked into the yard while his parents were asleep, picked up many pebbles and put them in his pocket.
The next day, the couple did take them to the forest. Hanson left many pebbles along the way as signposts to find his way home.
"You wait here and we'll cut wood."
My brother and sister sat playing on the grass and fell asleep unconsciously. When I woke up, it was dark.
Gleiter began to cry in fear. Hansen walked home with his weeping sister and followed the cobblestone sign.
My father was very happy when they finally came home, but my mother kept a calm face.
Only a few days later, Hansen heard his mother say to his father, "This time, they can't come back."
In the evening, Hansen wanted to pick up pebbles, but the door was locked.
The next day, under the same circumstances, Hansen had to use bread instead of pebbles and scatter it along the road. Unexpectedly, the bread was eaten up by the birds.
The brother and sister didn't wake up until midnight. Hansen comforted his sister and said, "It doesn't matter. The crumbs will tell us the way home.
"But, how to find also can't find bread crumbs.
"ah! What should I do? "
"I'm so hungry!"
The two men wandered in the forest hungry, and Gleiter couldn't help crying again.
"Sister, don't cry, wait until dawn, and my brother will take you home."
As the night deepened, the two brothers and sisters fell asleep unconsciously.
Soon, it will be dawn.
As soon as brother and sister woke up, they tried to go out and walk. Suddenly, Hansen's eyes lit up and cried, "Look! There is a house there! "
They looked at it carefully and happily. "Wow! This house is made of sweets and biscuits! "
Brother and sister were really hungry, so they couldn't help flying over and tearing down the house and eating it.
"ah! Delicious! "
At this moment, a kind voice came from behind and said, "Who is eating my house?" A lady came out of the room.
"Sorry, we are children lost in the forest."
Your wife said very gently, "Oh! Poor boy, come in and eat! There are many delicious foods at home. "
After eating, your wife let them sleep in a beautiful and comfortable bed. My brother and sister were very happy and fell asleep soon.
Gnome male-"... success! "
Actually, your wife is a cannibal witch. "well! The little boy is older and eats him first. "
The next day, Hansen was put into a big box.
"Give this to your brother, and I'll fatten him up. Go! "
Gleiter sobbed in fear, but it was no use crying. The witch ordered her to do all kinds of work, and she kept cursing after a break.
The witch comes to see Hansel every day. Because of her poor eyesight, she can only touch Hans' finger to see if she is fatter. However, Hansel is very clever. Every time she reaches out and takes out the chicken bones she has eaten, she lets the witch touch them.
Alas! Why didn't you gain weight after eating so much?
The witch couldn't wait and shouted, "Gleiter, I'm not waiting. You go and make a fire now. I'm going to cook your brother today. Come on! Quick! "
The witch loudly ordered Gleiter to carry a cauldron by herself.
"ah! Is my brother going to be eaten like this? " Gleiter looked at a big pot of water and thought sadly, "If I had known this, I would have died in the forest together."
Gretel is very anxious, but she doesn't know what to do.
"Why are you still standing there? Go and make a fire! " Cried the witch very crossly.
Gretel made a fire while crying.
After a while, the witch called to her again, "See if the water is boiling?"
At this moment, Gleiter suddenly had an epiphany and thought of a good way, which might save her brother and her.
So she asked the witch, "How do you know if the water is on?" I won't! See for yourself. "
"what! A girl can't even look at boiling water. Haven't you cooked at home? "
"no!"
"all right! I'll see for myself. "
The witch approached the jar and looked at the water carefully.
At this time, Gleiter tried his best to slam from behind.
The witch was completely unprepared and fell into the hot pot.
"oh! It almost burned me to death. "
The witch took a few breaths and died.
Gleiter happily ran to open the box and rescued Hansen.
"Brother, brother! The witch is dead! "
"ah! Really? "
"well! Really. " Gretel told her brother what happened.
Brother and sister embraced happily. Hans was moved and said, "Sister, you are so brave!"
"No," said Gleiter, "Brother, you are very clever!"
Two people running around happily. In the basement, they found a big box and opened it.
"wow! How beautiful! "
It turned out that the box was full of jewels and gold coins.
Hansen said, "Let's take some home as gifts."
Two people put jewelry and gold coins in their pockets, "well, go home quickly." Find a way out before dark! " Hansen held his sister's hand tightly and walked out of the witch's house.
Wow! Finally, they walked out of the forest, but a deep and wide river stood in front of them. What is even more distressing is that there are no bridges or boats on the river.
"That's too bad! How to cross the river? "
"wow! Look! A wild duck. "
On the other side of the river, there is a wild duck swimming leisurely.
Gleiter shouted, "By the way, you can please Mr. Wild Duck!" "
So they shouted together, "Mr. Wild Duck, would you please take us to the other side?"
As if they understood what they said, the wild ducks swam over and drove them across the river.
Far away, they saw their home.
Unexpectedly, the cruel stepmother died of illness.
Then they live happily with their father!
Creation background
The life and creative fate of the Brothers Grimm are inextricably linked with The Romantic Period in German literature. The Romantic Literature Movement, which was born out of the French Revolution (1789- 1794), swept across Europe at the turn of 18- 19 century, and it first blossomed in this chaotic and backward land of Germany.
Germany at that time was the most disastrous nation-state in Europe. Since the Thirty Years' War (16 18- 1648), Germany, which became the main battlefield, fell apart politically and economically. Although nominally still known as the "Holy Roman Empire", it has actually split into a "Butou feudal empire" composed of more than 360 principalities and free cities.
1806, the Napoleonic Wars sweeping Europe completely disintegrated the Holy Roman Empire. Under the conquest and rule of France, the national consciousness of the German people was awakened, and the desire for a unified and powerful German nation was unprecedentedly high.
