If you take a look at the story again as an adult, those fairy tales are very scary indeed!
Actually what happened was that the family was starving, so the mother convince the father that they must take Hansel and Gretel out into the woods and leave them there, so there would be enough to eat. Yikes! And this really has happened though out history. Then the evil witch entices them with the gingerbread house, to lure them in , so she can trap them, fatten them up and eat them. Kinda sick story. I am glad I didn't read thoe to my kids.
