The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house. She planned to eat
them both. Each night the children cried and begged the witch to let them go.
Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to wish she had never tried to get rid
of the children. “I must find them,”she said and set off into the forest.
Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were dry from thirst,
she came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother peeped through the window. Her
heart cried out when she saw the two children.
She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The witch was putting
some stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an almighty push. The witch fell into the
oven and the stepmother shut the door.
“Children, I have come to save you,” she said, hugging them tightly. “I have done a
dreadful
thing. I hope in time you will forgive me. Let me take you home and become a family again.”
They returned to their home and the stepmother became the best mother anyone could
wish to have, and of course they lived happily ever after!

Yesterday night was the night of the fair, the following day was holiday. The children at
Tim's school were really excited. They ran down the path out of school as fast as they could. Tim
ran all the way home, and changed into his jeans and sneakers. He ate his dinner quickly, and sat
at the window waiting for his dad to come. He couldn't wait for six o'clock when the fair would
begin. He had been saving his pocket money for weeks.
When Tim and his family arrived at the fair, it had just opened. Already there were crowds
of people swarming around food stalls, displays and dozens of rides. "Can I buy some chips and
a drink?" asked Tim.
"Okay" sad Tim's dad. "But hang on tightly to your wallet. There are a lot of people
around." "I'll be fine', said Tim impatiently.
He found a food stall, and ordered his food. When the man brought his chips and drink,
without thinking, Tim put his wallet on the counter and picked up his food and drink. When he
glanced back, his wallet had vanished! Tim desperately looked around him, but it was no use. All
his pocket money was gone.
