Hansel & Gretel Retell

In a graveyard
One dark and gloomy night Hansel and Gretel were getting annoyed with their dull parents making them do boring chores.

One day soon after they decided to take their parents out of their way. They took their parents out for a walk into the woods and they left them to get some wood to make the fire. Hansel and Gretel went the long way home. Hansel and Gretel’s parents knew their way back because they came this far into the woods every day to get firewood themselves. The parents walked back to their house with no problem.

The next day Hansel and Gretel came up with something harder for their parents to escape from. They took them into the woods, even further than last time. It was silent. You could hear everything, the birds singing, the wind blowing. They had travelled double the distance of last time. But the parents knew what their children were up to. Hansel and Gretel left their parents again and said they were going to get firewood, but didn’t come back.

Because it was so quiet when they went into the forest, the parents could hear and remember the birds singing. So they walked back to the east and the birds started singing. Not the singing they heard before, so they turned a little so they were walking north. They listened closely to the birds and they then knew that it was the right way. They walked for a while until they came to the end of the forest and they found their little cottage. In the window they saw Hansel and Gretel eating all their treats.

Hansel and Gretel waited for a week so it wouldn’t be so obvious what they were up to. At 9pm on Monday when all the hunters were out, Hansel and Gretel took their parents out. They had to be very careful not to get shot, so Hansel and Gretel wore black. Hansel and Gretel took their parents out even further than last time. There was so much noise they couldn’t remember anything. They were so tired they had a nap. They woke up in the middle of the night when the crazy hunters were still out. The hunters saw them move and quickly shot them.

In the morning Hansel and Gretel went out to look for their parents and found them lying on the ground dead. Hansel and Gretel they felt very bad and planned a funeral straight away. They called the local nanny network, hoping that they would be better than their parents were!
