he was fat or not she'd cook him so she prepared the oven and she told the little girl to get in and see was it hot enough but she said she did not know how. The witch said that she was stupid and she put in her head and the girl gave her a push into the oven. She then put on the lid and left the witch to burn to ashes. She released her brother and they got the baskets of precious stones and ran through the woods until they came to their fathers' house. Their father was the only one there because their cruel stepmother was dead, they gave the baskets of jewels to their father and they lived with him happy ever after.
