Use the information from the story to complete the graphic organizer below.

          Once upon a time, there were two siblings named Hansel and Gretel. They lived with their father and stepmother in a small house near a dark forest. One day, their stepmother decided that they should go into the forest because there was not enough food for everyone.

Hansel and Gretel were very scared, but Hansel had a plan. He took some small white stones and dropped them along the path as they walked. When night fell, the children followed the stones back home. Their father was happy to see them, but the stepmother was angry and made them go into the forest again.

This time, Hansel couldn’t collect stones because their stepmother locked the door. Instead, he dropped pieces of bread along the way. When night came, they tried to follow the bread crumbs, but the birds had eaten them all. They were lost!

            As they wandered through the forest, they found a strange house made of candy and chocolate. Starving and tired, they began to eat the sweet treats. Suddenly, an old witch appeared. She lured them inside with promises of more food.

Once inside, the witch locked Hansel in a cage and made Gretel do all the chores. The witch planned to eat Hansel when he was fat enough. But Gretel was clever. She tricked the witch and made her lean in close to check the oven. Then, with a quick push, she sent the witch into the oven! Gretel freed Hansel, and they quickly gathered the witch’s treasure. They followed a path through the forest until they found their way home. Their father was overjoyed to see them, but their stepmother was gone. From that day on, the family had enough food, and they lived happily ever after.
