No sleep for the hungry


One night, when too hungry to sleep, Hansel and Gretel heard their stepmother convincing their father to leave them in the forest the next morning. "They will never find their way home, and we'll be rid of them," she said.

Why do you think the stepmother said this? How do you think the children felt?

What would be your advice to Hansel and Gretel?

How would the children have felt on that long, cold night?

  1. I think the step mother said this because she wants to get rid of the children because she is selfish and wants all the food to her self (there's a famine you see...).

    1. What a good question Ruth! I wonder why? Can you predict why you think she may want to take them into the forest? Maybe your classmates could help too.
