Hansel and Gretel Story for kids
In a green forest, there was a woodcutter living there by his wife and his two kids. His son’s name was Hansel and his daughter’s name was Gretel. They were very poor. There were times that they even hadn’t something to eat for a day. One day, our poor woodcutter didn’t have enough money for a loaf of bread.
So when the night came, he started to think and think. At the end, he whispered to his wife:
What will happen to us? We can not feed our kids. they are starving.
I know the solution dear! Said the wife. We will take the kids deep in the forest early in the morning. we will ignite a fire for them and we will give each of them a loaf of bread. Then we will leave them for good. They will never find us again and with this plan, we will get rid of them.
Oh no wife! I can not imagine how I’m gonna do that! I can’t leave my kids alone in the forest! Wild animals will find them and swallow them in a moment.
You stupid man! Yelled the wife! Then the four of us will die out of hunger! You better start and make the coffins.
After a while, the man seemed convinced.
OK! But I really am sad for my poor kids.
Not being able to sleep because of hunger, Hansel and Gretel heard what their step mom planned for them. they cried quietly. Gretel said:
This is the end of our story! We are going to die tommorow!
Be quiet Gretel and don’t afraid! I’ve got this.
He waited until both their parents went to sleep. Then he got up, put on his jacket and slipped out from the back door. He stood near the garden, where the white stones were shining under the moon’s light! He picked up as many stones as he could and filled his pocket with them.
Then he turned back to the house and said to his sister:
Keep calm dear and sleep in peace! God will never forget us!
next morning, just before the sunrise, the step mom came and said:
Wake up! Wake up you lazy kids. We have to go to the forest and cut woods for your father.
Then she gave each of them a bread and said:
This is your dinner. Don’t eat it until then!
Gretel take the bread and hide it under her apron, because Hansel had his pocket full of stones. Then they started their journey to the forest. In their way, Hansel took a stone from his pocket every now and then and dropped it on the ground.
When they reached the heart of the forest, they collect wood with their father and used it to make a fire to keeping them warm. When the fire was ready, The step mom said:
Now lie down and rest kids. Your father and I will collect woods and when we were ready to go, we will wake you up!
After a while, they became tired and fell sleep. When they finally woke up, it was night. Gretel started crying and said:
OMG! How shall we get of this forest?
Don’t even think about it sis! Wait a little bit, when the moon rises, we will easily find our way to home.
And when the full mon got up, Hansel took Gretel’s hand and started to follow the white stones that were shining like silver. They walk all the night and next morning, they reached their house. They knocked the door. When the wife opened the door and saw Hansel and Gretel, she said:
You naughty children! How many hours you slept in the woods! We thought you’ll never come back.
But their father was so happy for seeing his kids once again.
Not very long after, another scarcity came to that area. Gain the children heard their step mom talking to their father:
Everything is finished! We just have a half a loaf and after that we will die! We have to get rid of the kids! This time we will take them even deeper in the woods so they will never find us again.
The man wasn’t happy with this at all! He whispered:
I’d rather to share my last morsel with my kids.
But the tricky step mom didn’t listened to him at all and finally managed to convince him to redo the plan.
Children heard this conversation completely. When the parents went to sleep, Hansel got up and wore his jacket. He wanted to go and pick up more white stones, but the step mom had locked the door. Hansel didn’t manage to get out but he started to comfort his little sister:
Don’t cry little sis! Go to sleep! I’m sure God will help us!
Next morning, the step mom came and woke them up and gave each of them a little piece of bread. even less than before. On they way to the woods, Hansel crumbled the bread in his pocket and every now and then, he dropped a crumb on the ground.
Hansel strewed bread crumbs all along the road. Woman take them deep deep into the forest. Where they never been before in their short lives. Then again they collect wood and made a large fire. The step mom said:
Sit here, you children, and when you are tired you can go to sleep; we are going into the forest to cut wood, and in the evening, when we are ready to go home we will come and wake you up.
So when noon came Grethel shared her bread with Hansel, who had strewed his along the road. Then they fell sleep, and the evening passed, and no one came for the poor children. When they woke up it was dark night. Hansel comforted his little sister:
Wait a little, Gretel, until the moon gets up. We will be able to find our way by the bread crumbs I scattered on the road.
So when the moon rose they got up, but they there were no bread crumbs on the ground, cause the birds of the forest and of the fields had come and eat them. Hansel thought they might find the way all the same, but they could not.
They walked that night, and the next day from the morning until the evening, but they could not find the way back to their home, and they were starving, for they had nothing to eat but the few berries they could pick up.
When they got very tired and decided to lay down under a tree and sleep.
It was now the third morning since they had left their father’s house. They were always trying to get back to it, but instead of that they only found themselves farther in the wood, and if help had not soon come they would have been starved.
About noon they saw a pretty snow-white bird sitting on a branch, and singing so sweetly that they stopped to listen. And when he had finished the bird spread his wings and flew before them, and they followed after him until they came to a little house, and the bird landed on the roof, and when they came closer they saw that the house was built of sweets, and roofed with cakes; and the window was of transparent sugar.
We will have some of this, said Hansel, and make a fine meal. I will eat a piece of the roof, Gretel, and you can have some of the window-that will taste like sugar.
So Hansel reached up and broke off a bit of the roof, just to see how it tasted, and Gretel stood by the window and chewed it. Suddenly they heard a thin voice coming from the inside:
Nibble, nibble, like a mouse,
Who is nibbling at my house?
And the children thought:
Never mind, It is the wind.
And they continued eating, not paying attention o the sound. Hansel, who found that the roof tasted very nice, took down a great piece of it, and Gretel pulled out a large round window-pane.
Cinderella Story for kids
Once upon a time, there lived a poor servant girl named Cinderella. She was a patient, tender and kind girl. His days were long and tiring. Full of the most boring and worst housework.
Washing the floor, washing the clothes, dusting the shelves and cooking food were the tasks that she had to do during the day. Cinderella was forced to work from morning to evening without receiving a single Penny.
Cinderella’s mother died when she was very young, and her father remarried soon after. But his new wife was a nasty woman. She had two daughters from her previous marriage who were as naughty as she was.
They tormented poor Cinderella terribly every day. One day, when Cinderella was sweeping the ashes from the fireplace, they mocked her and sang:
Poor girl, poor girl
Her face is black, burnt and ugly
Even though her stepmother and half-sisters had tormented her for years, she had never once disrespected them or tried to take revenge on them. She did not wish them ill at all.
She patiently did the housework, hoping that when she grew up she could run away and start the wonderful life she longed for.
One day when Cinderella was working at home, someone knocked on the door. Cinderella hurriedly opened the door. Behind the door stood a short, fat man dressed in royal robes and holding an important scroll.
The old man opened the scroll and began to read:
It is my duty to announce that the king has sent an official invitation to all the young ladies of this land to attend the important royal celebration in the palace.
Hearing this, Cinderella’s stepsisters pushed her to a corner and stood in front of the fat man. The man continued to read:
His Highness the Crown Prince is looking for a suitable lady for marriage. He wants to meet all the girls of this land to find true love. Please come to the palace on Saturday at 8 pm.
The little man turned, mounted his horse, and galloped off. Two knights also followed him closely.
The half-sisters closed the door and gave a loud shout of joy.
Cinderella’s stepmother entered the room.
She said impatiently:
What is the reason for all this happiness?
Oh…mom…we’ve been invited to the royal party and I’m sure one of us will be chosen as the new princes.
The stepmother replied with a mocking smile:
Of course you do, what prince wouldn’t want to marry my sweet and precious children!
Cinderella was desperately trying to quiet them down a bit. Because she knew in her heart that any prince would rather live alone for the rest of his life than to blacken his fortune by marrying these rude girls.
The stepmother turned to Cinderella and shouted:
Why did you stop and look? Prepare the clothes.
Cinderella nodded and said:
Yes Mam!
Cinderella wanted more than anything to go to the royal party. But she did not dare to ask permission from her wicked stepmother, because she knew that the wicked stepmother would not give her this permission. So she busied herself with housework and of course preparing her half-sisters’ dresses.
The evening of the royal royal feast arrived.
A magnificent horse-drawn carriage pulled up to the front door of the house, and the half-sisters, dressed in their hand-embroidered dresses, entered the carriage with much pomp and show.
Cinderella looked at them with great sadness and sighed deeply.
She said to herself:
If I could only have one wish for the rest of my life, it would be to attend a royal party and get away from the dreaded and boring housework for just one night.
Suddenly, a great light appeared in the sky.
A small fairy appeared in front of Cinderella, holding a small wand.
Fairy said happily:
Your wish will come true!
Cinderella asked in surprise:
what?
I will fulfill your wish; Because I am your fairy godmother. Oh, how much you have suffered in silence all these years. You have a kind soul. A kind and patient young lady.
Cinderella exclaimed happily
Oh I can’t believe it!!
But suddenly a frown appeared on her face.
But I’m not ready, Fairy Godmother. My clothes are cotton and my shoes are torn. I can’t be in the palace like this!
Fairy Godmother said with a smile:
Don’t worry, Cinderella. All I need to make your wish come true is a pumpkin, a rat, two mice and four grasshoppers.
Cinderella looked very confused.
So hurry up dear. hurry up!!
Cinderella ran and prepared everything that the fairy godmother said.
First, Cinderella went to the garden and came back with a big and ripe pumpkin. The fairy godmother tapped it once with her wand and in an instant the pumpkin turned into a magnificent golden carriage.
Then, Cinderella returned a mouse from the mouse trap in the kitchen.
Fairy godmother said:
Great dear, now if you don’t mind putting them on the carriage seat for me
Cinderella quickly did this.
The fairy waved her wand again. The two mice that Cinderella found in the barn turned into two servants in classy clothes. The four grasshoppers turned into four magnificent white horses.
said the fairy godmother
And now for the final magic…
And she hit Cinderella on the shoulder with her wand.
A spark rose. The old clothes she was wearing a moment ago suddenly changed. Cinderella sparkled in a magical, sparkly gown fit for a princess. Cinderella looked at her feet. He was wearing a pair of very beautiful glass shoes that glowed in the dark.
Fairy godmother cried:
Amazing!!! But remember that at 12 o’clock at night, this magic spell will be broken and your clothes will turn into old clothes.
Cinderella said as she kissed her fairy godmother on the cheek
I understand. And thank you very much for the great favor you have done to me Fairy Godmother!!
Cinderella entered the carriage and drove to the royal party.
As the golden carriage passed through the palace gates, trumpets sounded and Cinderella was given a royal welcome.
All the ladies were amazed at her magnificence.
As she entered the ballroom, the prince was immediately struck by Cinderella’s elegance and the warmth of her smile.
The prince approached.
He bowed his head slowly and extended his hand and said:
Ma’am, would you do me the honor to dance with you?
Cinderella said with dignity and kindness:
