Hansel and Gretel

      Once there was a poor woodcutter who had two children, Hansel and Gretel. He loves them so much.

      The woodcutter's second wife wanted him let the children be left in the forest because they had nothing to eat any more.

(May isang mahirap na mangangahoy na may dalawang anak, sina Hansel at Gretel. Mahal na mahal niya ang mga ito.

Ibig ng pangalawang asawa ng mangangahoy na iwan sa gubat ang dalawang bata. Wala na kasi silang makain.)

      The woman did not stop nagging him until he gives in to her wishes.

Hansel gathered some pebbles. The next day, he dropped each pebble on the road where they passed through the woods.

(Hindi tinigilan ng babae ang mangangahoy hanggang hindi ito pumapayag sa balak.

Nanguha ng maliliit na bato si Hansel. Kinabukasan, habang papunta sa gubat ay inilaglag niya iyos sa daan.)

      Because of the pebbles, the two managed to be back home. Their stepmother got mad. They were given small pieces of bread and were locked inside a small room.

They used the pieces of bread as markers, but the birds ate the bread, so they got lost on their way home.

(Kahit iniwan sa gubat ay nakauwi ang dalawa. Sinundan kasi nila ang mga bato. Galit ang madrasta nila. Binigyan sila ng kapirasong tinapay at ikinulong sa maliit na kwarto. 

Ang tinapay ang ginawa nilang palatandaan. Kinain naman iyon ng mga ibon kaya hindi nila natunton ang daan pauwi.)

      While searching for a way back home, they saw a house made of chocolate, candies and other tasty pastries. The two kids were busy eating when an old lady invited them to go inside the chocolate house.

(Kahahanap nila ng daan pauwi ay nakakita sila ng isang bahay na gawa sa tsokolate, kendi at iba pang masasarap na pagkain. Kumakain ang dalawang bata nang anyayahan sila ng isang matandang babae na pumasok sa loob ng bahay na tsokolate.)

      The old lady happened to be a witch. She locked Hansel inside so that he would grow fast and eat him later. Gretel was forced to do household chores.The lady had poor vision. She thought Hansel was not getting any fatter. She asked Gretel to check if the over was ready.

(Isa palang bruha ang matanda.Ikinulong niya si Hansel para patabain at kainin. Si Gretyel naman ay pinaggawa niya ng mga gawaing bahay. Malabo ang mga mata ng Bruha. Ang akala niya ay hindi tumataba si Hansel. Inutusan nito si Gretel na tingnan kung mainit na ang pugon.)

      Seizing the opportunity, Gretel pushed the witch inside the oven. She then unlocked Hansel. They found many treasures inside.

(Itinulak ni Gretel ang bruha sa loob ng pugon saka isinusi. Pagkatapos ay pinakawalan niya si Hansel. Natuklasan nila na marami palang kayamanan sa loob ng bahay na iyon.)

    

  The woodcutter asked forgiveness from his children. Their stepmother had died. They become very rich and lived happily.

(Humingi ng tawad ang mangangahoy nang makit sina Hansel at Gretel. Patay na raw ang ikalawang asawa nito. Mula noon yumaman sila at namuhay ng masaya.)
