Hansel and Gretel's mother has died, and their father remarried. Unfortunately, the woman their father married is cruel, and when there is not enough food for them all to survive, she convinces her husband to take the children out to the woods and leave them there, with only a crust of bread to survive on.
The children overhear this, and Gretel uses the crust of bread to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to help find their way home. They soon discover that the birds have eaten it, and they cannot find their way home. They wander the forest, and soon discover a house made entirely of gingerbread.
They are both ravenous, and take a piece off of the gingerbread house and eat it. The witch who owns the house captures them and proceeds to make Gretel into a slave to clean her house, and locks Hansel up, fattening him up with sweets so she can bake him in her oven to eat.
When the witch finally decides to bake Hansel, she tells Gretel to start the fire. Gretel lies and says she can't tell if the fire in the oven has started. The witch shoves her aside, and leans into the oven to check. At this point, Gretel pushes the witch in, destroying her, and releasing the other children that the witch has baked into gingerbread people.
This is where the trouble is. Some stories say that Hansel and Gretel live in the gingerbread house and others say that the two children finally manage to find their way home to find that their father has sent their step mother away because he saw how evil her heart truly was.
Either way, both Hansel and Gretel live happily ever after.
The end.
