A poor woodcutter and his wife had two children named Hansel and 

Gretel. Their mother died when they were young. Hansel and Gretel were 

very sad. Soon their father remarried but their stepmother was very 

cruel. One day, she took the children deep into the forest, 2,000 meters 

from their home, and left them there. Clever Hansel had 347 grams of 

breadcrumbs in his pocket and had dropped them on the way so that they 

could find their way back home. Alas! The birds ate all the crumbs and 

they couldn’t find the path that led back home.

Hansel and Gretel went 50 kilometers deeper into the forest. They were 

hungry and tired. Finally, after walking for 1,000 meters more, which took 

them 8,000 seconds, they saw a cottage made of chocolate, candies, and 

cake, it weighed 90,000 grams. “Look, Hansel! A chocolate brick!” shouted 

Gretel in delight. They then went over and happily started eating it.

Now, a wicked witch lived there. When she saw Hansel and Gretel, she 

wanted to eat them. She grabbed the children and locked them in a cage. 

The witch decided to make a soup out of Hansel and eat him first. She 

began boiling a huge pot of water, which had a volume of 40 liters, for the 

soup.

Just then, Gretel crept out of her cage. She gave the wicked witch a mighty 

push from behind and the witch fell into the boiling water which happened 

to be 500 degrees kelvin. She howled in pain and died instantly. Hansel and 

Gretel found treasure lying around the cottage. They carried it home with 

them but it was hard because it weighed 30,000 kilograms. Their 

stepmother had died and their father welcomed them back with tears of 

joy. They never went hungry again!
