Excerpt from Hansel and Gretel
Directions: Read this excerpt from the story
Hansel and Gretel, you are trying to determine what the main conflict of the
story is and summarize it.
This is your Do Now. You
have 8 mins to read it.
"I'm
frightened!" wept Gretel bitterly. "I'm cold and hungry and I want to
go home!"
"Don't be afraid. I'm here to look after you!" Hansel
tried to encourage his sister, but he too shivered when he glimpsed frightening
shadows and evil eyes around them in the darkness. All night the two children
huddled together for warmth at the foot of a large tree.
When dawn broke, they started to wander about the forest, seeking
a path, but all hope soon faded. They were well and truly lost. On they walked
and walked, till suddenly they came upon a strange cottage in the middle of a
glade.
"This is chocolate!" gasped Hansel as he broke a lump of
plaster from the wall.
"And this is icing!" exclaimed Gretel, putting another
piece of wall in her mouth. Starving but delighted, the children began to eat
pieces of candy broken off the cottage.
"Isn't this delicious?" said Gretel, with her mouth
full. She had never tasted anything so nice.
"We'll stay here," Hansel declared, munching a bit of
nougat. They were just about to try a piece of the biscuit door when it quietly
swung open.
"Well, well!" said an old woman, peering out with a
crafty look. "And haven't you children a sweet tooth?"
"Come in! Come in, you've nothing to fear!" went on the
old woman. Unluckily for Hansel and Gretel, however, the sugar candy cottage
belonged to an old witch, her trap for catching unwary victims. The two
children had come to a really nasty place.
"You're nothing but skin and bones!" said the witch,
locking Hansel into a cage. I shall fatten you up and eat you!"
"You can do the housework," she told Gretel grimly,
"then I'll make a meal of you too!" As luck would have it, the witch
had very bad eyesight, an when Gretel smeared butter on her glasses, she could
see even less.
"Let me feel your finger!" said the witch to Hansel
every day to check if he was getting any fatter. Now, Gretel had brought her
brother a chicken bone, and when the witch went to touch his finger, Hansel
held out the bone.
"You're still much too thin!" she complained. When will
you become plump?" One day the witch grew tired of waiting.
"Light the oven," she told Gretel. "We're going to
have a tasty roasted boy today!" A little later, hungry and impatient, she
went on: "Run and see if the oven is hot enough." Gretel returned,
whimpering: "I can't tell if it is hot enough or not." Angrily, the
witch screamed at the little girl: "Useless child! All right, I'll see for
myself." But when the witch bent down to peer inside the oven and check
the heat, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven door shut. The
witch had come to a fit and proper end. Gretel ran to set her brother free and
they made quite sure that the oven door was tightly shut behind the witch.
Indeed, just to be on the safe side, they fastened it firmly with a large
padlock. Then they stayed for several days to eat some more of the house,
till they discovered amongst the witch's belongings, a huge chocolate egg.
Inside lay a casket of gold coins.
