Extrait du livre Hansel and Gretel
Hansel and Gretel lived in a small German town on the edge of a big forest. Like most children, Hansel and Gretel loved candy. Like most parents, Hansel and Gretel’s mother and father did not like them having too much candy. They wanted Hansel and Gretel to be healthy and strong, so they gave them fruits, vegetables, and multi-grain bread.
One day, Hansel and Gretel went to town in search of a candy store. They walked up and down every street, but could not find one. At the far end of town, near the big forest, came the wonderful smell of gingerbread. Their eyes widened, their nostrils flared, and their feet walked toward the scent.
As Hansel and Gretel wandered deeper into the forest, they came upon the most amazing house they had ever seen. It was a life-size gingerbread house with a cookie walkway, lollipop flowers, and candy windows. Hansel and Gretel jumped for joy and ran up to the entrance. An old woman opened the door and said, “You must be starving. Why don’t you come in for dinner?” “Oh yes, we are starving. Thank you.” Hansel and Gretel replied, even though they weren’t starving at all.
