The True Story of Hansel and Gretel

On Friday 22 of November Room's 4, 5 and 6 went to a ballet. It was Hansel and Gretel. It was only the second half because we went after morning tea and the whole thing would be 2 hours. The performance started around about 12 pm and finished at around about 1.30.

Something I enjoy at the ballet was all the FAKE food. It made me so hungry.
Something I didn't like about the ballet was that we didn't get to see the whole performance.
We only saw the second half because it wouldn't be as long and it was only about 1 hour.
Last year we went to the Nutcracker. It was fun. At first I didn't want to go to the Hansel and Gretel ballet, but I had to go to the ballet, so I did. It ended up being fun. I didn't want to go because I've heard the story over 100 times.
Something else I didn't like was that someone was kicking my set.

On Tuesday the 26 of November we wrote some narrative writing. We had to rewrite the story of Hansel and Gretel.

Something I found difficult was writing the first half because we didn't get to see the first half.

Something I found easy was how it ended.

Hansel and Gretel lived with their Mum and Dad in the big city. They lived in an apartment. They didn’t have much food either. They were starving.
 Hansel said, “I could eat a whole horse.” The Mum said, “No, we will not eat any horse’s in this house, the end.”
 One night while Hansel and Gretel were sleeping, a Witch came through the window. Her name was Night Which. That’s right, she kidnaps kids at night. Her last name really is Witch.

So she kidnapped Hansel and Gretel. In the morning their Dad heard a scream. So he went into Hansel and Gretel’s room.
 The only person there was the Mum. “Hansel and Gretel have been kidnapped.” She said. Meanwhile at Night Witch’s house, Hansel and Gretel woke up.
 “Where are we Hansel.” Said Gretel. “I don’t even know.” Said Hansel. Night Witch came in with some candy. “Have some Candy Dear’s.” Night Witch said.

 Hansel and Gretel ate the candy. Now Night Witch brought in some KFC. Hansel ate it all. Night Witch brought in some Burger King. Gretel ate that. Finally, Night Witch brought in some Mcdonalds. Hansel and Gretel ate it.
 Hansel and Gretel passed out and Night Witch put them in the basement. Hansel was put in a cage and Gretel was just put on the floor. It would’ve been a better idea to put Gretel in the cage too.
 Night Witch said, “I can’t wait to eat some KFH.” KFH means, Kentucky Fried Hansel. She left the room with the key to the cage left on a table in the basement. Hansel and Gretel woke up from their deep sleep.
 “Hansel, your in a cage.” Said Gretel. “Gretel, there’s a key on the table, try to open the cage with that.” Said Hansel. So Gretel used the key to open the cage. It worked.

Hansel jumped out of the cage landing on the ground as the ground shook. Night Witch came in. She ran to push fat Hansel (Because Hansel became fat) into the open oven.
 Hansel moved out of the way as Night Witch said, “Get in that oven you fat buffoon.” Night Witch wasn’t looking where she was going, so she ran straight into the oven. Gretel shut the door to the oven and locked it. Night Witch’s operation: KFH had failed.

Night Witch died as the police came in. “Night Witch you're under arrest for the kidnaping of Hansel and Gretel and tons of other kids.” Said the Police. Night Witch had enough time to say, “I knew I smelled bacon, because the pigs are here.”
 The Police saw that Night Witch died right when Hansel and Gretel’s Mum and Dad came in. “Hansel and Gretel, you're under arrest for the murder of Night Witch.” Said the Cops. Hansel and Gretel realized that they did murder Night Witch.
 “Hansel you must be the reason for the ground to shake earlier, look how fat you are. Your staying in prison for longer.” Said the Cops.

Later at Hansel and Gretel’s trial, the judge said, “They did use self defence. Plus, Night Witch did kidnap and eat tons of kids. I believe Hansel and Gretel deserve a medal for that. On the other hand, Hansel needs to lose weight. 5 weeks of fat camp for you Hansel. But on the third hand for some reason, they’re innocent. Also Night Witch had a lot of money which Hansel and Gretel’s family will get.”
 So the story comes to an end. Hansel went to fat camp, and Hansel and Gretel’s family got all of Night Witches money.
