though they stood still and listened to it when its song was over it spread its wings and flew away before. And they followed it until they reached a little house

on the roof of which it alighted. And when they approached the little house they saw that it was built of bread and covered with cakes but the windows

were of clear sugar we were set to work on that said Hansel, and have a good meal. I will eat a bit of the roof, and you Gretel will eat some of the window. It will taste sweet. Hansel reached up above and broke off a little of the roof to try how it tasted. And Gretel leant against the window and niveled at the panes. Then a soft voice cried from the parlour.

Nibble, nibble, knibble, nor, who was nibbling at my little house? The children answered, the wind, the wind, the heaven-born wind, and went on eating without disturbing themselves. Hansel, who liked the taste of the roof, tore down a grim. piece of it, and Gretel pushed out the whole of one round window pane, sat down and enjoyed herself with it. Suddenly the door opened, and a woman, as old as the hills, who supported herself on crutches, came creeping out. Hansel and Gretel was so terribly frightened that they let fall what they had in their hands.

The old woman, however, nodded her head and said, Oh, you dear children, who was brought you here, do come in and stay with me, no harm shall happen to you. She took them both by the hands and led them into her little house,

then good food was set before them, milk and pancakes, with sugar, apples and nuts. Afterwards, two pretty little beds were covered with clean white linen, and Hansel and Gretel lay down in them and thought they were in heaven.
