full of small pebbles and when ne was
taken with his sister into the forest,
dropped them ut intervals along the
path. He was thus able. much to the
surprise OF his mother and father, to find
i his way home with his sister. The par
bents again decided to take the children

to collect moro pebbles and thought II

Fdering about the forest, they were very
Joyful to find a cottage made OF sugar,
with the roof OF gingerbread They at
once commenced to break Off some pieces
and eat them. While they were SO en-
loving themselves, an old witch ap-
reared and locked Hansel in her cot
Ftage and took Greatcl to light @ fire IN
her oven. In which she baked her bread,
! When the old witch climbed up to at
tend to the fire, Greatel shut the door
and so destroyed the old witch. she at
once released her brother from his con-
tlnement. 81
While they were sitting on q grass
covered bank outside tho cottage the
kind fairies sent birds with rings. SET
with precious stones until Greatel had her
