That's different from my version! My version the kids are out looking for food beacause of a crop failure. The witch kept giving them coloured stones, which they discovered were precious. So in the end the family became rich.

Funny reading these stories as an adult.

Been reading Hansel and Gretel to my daughter and love the premise as to why they were out in the woods anyway. There was a famine in the land, so their parents kicked them out to fend for themselves cause that was better for them.

Gotta to love those old style values.

Don't get me started on Rumplestiltskin.

Yes but nobody has any money to buy those sweets at inflated prices as they are too busy repaying their debt, petrol/taxes/bread/milk.

Wasn't the house the witch's? The kids lived in a stone detached with a large garden.
