We are all Hansel and Greta.....
"When a famine settles over the land, the woodcutter's wife decides to take the children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves so she and her husband will not starve to death." Sounds about right.

After days of wandering, they follow a beautiful white bird to a clearing in the woods, and discover a large cottage built of gingerbread, cakes, and candy, with window panes of clear sugar. Hungry and tired, the children begin to eat the roof, when the door opens and a hideous
old hag emerges and lures the children inside, with the promise of soft beds, delicious food, and a hot bath. They do this unaware that their hostess is a bloodthirsty witch who built the gingerbread house to waylay children to cook and eat them.
The next morning, the witch throws Hansel into a cage and enslaves Gretel, forcing her to work from dawn till dusk.
