It had been days since the kitchen had seen as 

much as a pinto bean. That morning, hungry 

Hansel declared lunchtime to Father's girlfriend, 

Chelsea, who ignored him. Hours ago, Father had 

hurriedly left for work asking Chelsea to get some 

groceries. Hansel guessed that she didn't hear 

him, since she hadn't budged. Finally, Chelsea 

agreed saying, “Fine. I'll buy some food, but 

you're staying at the park.”

 So they lollygagged to the park, Hansel drawing with his chalk along 

the way. Chelsea, infuriated by the pace, stole the chalk from Hansel. 

Secretly, he kept a hunk in his pocket. They arrived, and Chelsea 

promptly deserted the children for the grocery. Hours later, all the 

chalk was gone, but Chelsea wasn't there. Gretel began crying. “She’s 

never coming back, is she? I want to go? home, but we’ll get lost!” 

Hansel remembered his trail of drawings. “Don’t worry, we can follow 

the chalk home.” They left, following the scribbles, finding their way. 

Father welcomed them home, but Chelsea scolded them for leaving. 

The next day, the food Chelsea bought was gone. After a 

similar morning to the day before, The children were left at the 

park again. After many hours, Chelsea still wasn't there. 

Ominous clouds threatened rain. Overcome with fear, they 

began to follow the path home once more, but rain washed it 

away.
