Hansel and Gretel Page #2

---

No, not now, Gretel.

Look at the beautiful stones.

Father told me how to use them.

Take your sister inside. Go on. Go on.

This doesn't taste like the soup,

it tastes like the wash water.

I don't think you know

what the wash water tastes like.

I tried it once. I really did.

Stop it. Stop it.

How dare you laugh at this meal.

Next time, I'll eat the last potato myself.

Children, go to bed.

Yes, go to bed, children.

And if you're lucky, you'll never wake up.

Maria, how could you say such a thing?

How could you let that fat baker

cheat you again?

Are you a stupid simpleton?

I'm a simple woodcutter.

You're a father.

Haven't you the courage

to stand up to someone...

who's taking the food

from your wife and babies...

by not paying you

what is rightfully owed to you?

-He's an important man in town.

-I don't care if he's the King.

I'll go to the town myself

and speak to the baker.

All right, I've heard enough.

I'll go in tomorrow...

and I will collect the rest

of what is owed to me.

Mama.

Mama?

-Good morning, missus.

-Good morning to you, neighbour.

I've brought some things for you.

Our cows has been producing more milk

than we can drink or make cheese with.

I've brought you some eggs, too.

-I have no money for this, neighbour.

-No need.

Your good husband

has done me favours many a time.

Why, just last winter, when I was sick

and couldn't get out of bed...

he brought firewood to my family

to keep my home warm.

He's a good neighbour and a good man.

Yes, my husband cares for everyone.

But this is very kind of you and your family.

-This is heavy. I'll carry it.

-Thank you.

You know, yesterday,

when I was delivering milk to the miller...

he told me that another child

has disappeared...

into that cursed North Woods.

They looked hard all day for that little boy.

Found nothing.

That's terrible.

If you ask me, my thought is...

no one will ever see

that child again, missus.

Look, children. Fresh milk and some eggs.

Thank you. Say thank you, children.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Good day.

This cream is delicious.

I'm going to make us some custard.

I can't wait.

This custard would be perfect

with some berries.

I'm going to find some

if I have to search the forest high and low.

And we're going to have a real celebration

when your father gets home tonight.

I'm so happy.

Now, Gretel, while I'm gone,

you do your darning.

Yes, Mama.

And Hansel, make sure that weave

is good and tight...

or else the broom won't last.

And Hansel, please do not forget

to give some water to the donkey.

I won't forget.

-May I have this dance, miss?

-Yes, kind sir.

Gretel, dear, I don't know how

When to turn and how to bow
