There were a poor wood-cutter with his wife and his two children. His boy was called Hansel and his daughter was called Gretel,
He said to his wife, ´´What is to become of us. How will we feed our poor children.´´ ´´I´ll tell you answered the woman, ´´early tomorrow morning we will take the children out into the forest. They will not find the way home again, and we shall be rid of them.´
