🍬🏡 Hansel and Gretel

📜 Script 

NARRATOR:
Hansel and Gretel lived with their father and stepmother in a small house.
They were very poor and had no food.

One night, the stepmother said:

👩 STEPMOTHER:
“We cannot feed them. Take them to the forest.”

NARRATOR:
Hansel heard her.
He filled his pockets with small white stones.

The next morning, the father took the children deep into the forest.
As they walked, Hansel dropped the stones behind him.

At night, the moon came out.
The stones shone bright.
Hansel and Gretel followed them home.

NARRATOR:
The next day, the stepmother took them again.
Hansel had no stones—only bread.
He dropped crumbs, but the birds ate them.

Hansel and Gretel were lost.

NARRATOR:
They walked and walked.
Then they saw a house made of candy!

👧 GRETEL:
“Wow! Let’s eat it!”

NARRATOR:
They began to nibble.
An old woman came out.

👵 WITCH:
“Come in, little ones.”

But she was a witch!
She locked Hansel in a cage.

NARRATOR:
She told Gretel to cook.
But Gretel was smart.

One day, she pushed the witch into the oven!

She freed Hansel.
They found gold and went home.

Their father was happy.
They were safe—forever.

THE END.
