Hensel & Gretel

I read Hansel & Gretel, a book in the Usborne Young Reading series.

It was retold by Katie Daynes. 

But it was first written down by Jacob and Wilhem Grimm. The Brothers lived in Germany in the early 1800s and together they retold hundreds of fairy tales.

Hensel's family is very poor. So his stepmother suggested that she will Hensel and Gretel deep into the forest and leave them there. They were lost and starving in the deep, dark forest. Even stale bread and a scary stepmother would be better than endless tree. They spied a house made of chocolate and cake. But there was a nasty old woman. Althogh they were cought by her, finally they were able to go them house.

I wonderd why was them father disagree with the suggestion of stepmother and why did he stop it?

Besides, at last, where did the stepmother go?

Though I have some questions, it is exciting and interesting story.

If you come to be interested, please read it.
