Hansel and Gretel (6) [Hansel and Gretel]

Hansel and Gretel (6)
 
" Let me feel your finger ! " said the witch to Hansel every day to check if he was getting any fatter.

Now, Gretel had brought her brother a chicken bone, and when the witch went to touch his finger, Hansel held out the bone. 
 
" You're still much too thin ! " she complained.
" When will you become plump ? "

One day the witch grew tired of waiting. 
 
" Light the oven, " she told Gretel.
" We're going to have a tasty roasted boy today  !"

A little later, hungry and impatient, she went on: " Run and see if the oven is hot enough. "

Gretel returned, whimpering: " I can't tell if it is hot enough or not."

Angrily, the witch screamed at the little girl: " Useless child !  All right, I'll see for myself. "

But when the witch bent down to peer inside the oven and check the heat, Gretel gave her a tremendous push and slammed the oven door shut.

The witch had come to a fit and proper end.

Gretel ran to set her brother free and they made quite sure that the oven door was tightly shut behind the witch. Indeed, just to be on the safe side, they fastened it firmly with a large padlock.
