Chapter 1
"Hansel! We must hurry!" Gretel whined in her heavy German accent. Every month Hansel and his sister Gretel go for a walk to their Grandmas house with a basket of food. "Okay, okay. Let's grab our coats and basket and we'll go to Grandmas."
As the two children went on their way, a witch's quiet breakfast is interrupted by someone quite unexpected. Zeus, god of thunder, stood in her modern day kitchen. "Witch Hazel, I've a proposition for you. I am unhappy with what man has become. Two children will cross the path to your house here in the forest. If you eat them you and the rest of your fairy tale creatures will rule this world and I will wipe man off the planet. But if the children are to escape, you will become nothing but a story book character."
When Zeus left, Witch Hazel was in good spirits. She had the perfect plan to trap the children. She would transform her charming little abode into a delicious gingerbread house. "The children won't be able to resist!" Witch Hazel thought with a wicked smile. After the house was finished, Hansel and Gretel rounded the corner. "Gretel do you see all that candy?" asked Hansel excitedly, picking up a gumdrop as they walked toward the almond brittle door. The two children had never seen so many sweets in their lives.
Before either of them could knock Witch Hazel opened the door and ushered them inside. "Hello kiddies! My name is Hazel. This way, this way. I have a big surprise for you!" The children walked into a cotton candy dining room and on the chocolate bar table sat piles upon piles of sweets stacked to the ceiling. It's sad to say that Hansel and Gretel were easily persuaded to stay at the candy house and quickly forgot about their Grandma.
