The Fateful Journey

Once upon a time, a brother and sister named Hansel and Gretel lived in a hut in the woods with their father who was a poor woodcutter and their mother. Their parents were very poor and had barely enough food to eat.

One day, their parents sent them off into the woods in search of greener pastures. Their mother cried as she sent them off, but they could not take care of them any longer. Hansel and Gretel took a few pebbles and some bread crumbs with them.
