    but the children were listening. The next morning when Hansel went to the door his mother was there before him. Then they all arose and the mother gave the children a piece of bread each. It was bread Hansel left on the road that morning and when he went to find his way home that night the birds had all the bread eat so they were lost in the forest for ever.
