Twisted Hansel & Gretel
Once long ago in the 1800’s there lived a little family, they were the Huntersons.
The Huntersons family had the father, the stepmother, Hansel and Gretel.
Gretel was as skinny as a branch, luscious blond hair and sapphire blue eyes.
Hansel was very similar to Gretel except he was a bit more chubbier and had different interests.
When Hansel and Gretel were children there was very little food and not a lot of items to help them survive.
Their mother had died when they were very young and soon later their father remarried to their
wicked stepmother.
“I hate those kids, hmm how should I get rid of them. Oh, I know I’ll drop them in the woods by the evil
gingerbread lady mwahahaha!” Thought the stepmother to herself.
One day the kids were very hungry so they decided to take their mind off the pain they would go exploring,
little did they know that was their wicked stepmothers plan.
The moonlight lit up the fog, the only light guiding them through the thick, dense greenery.
The rustling in the bushes frightened them as shadows passed, making them trip filling their mouths with a
horrid taste of dirt. A howl in the distance startled the kids, putting them to a stop. There was a gush of wind
half knocking them over. The moss slipping in between their toes, sending a shiver up their spines.
“Oi you useless kids hurry up I’m getting cold!” said the mother with a fierce voice, the kids quivered in fear
and didn’t respond. Hansel and Gretel quickened their pace panting.
After many hours of walking far into the bush Hansel and Gretel fell asleep and while they got some shut eye
their horrid stepmother wandered back to her house.
Hansel woke his body aching with pain, Gretel soon awoke after.
They thought to themselves and knew there was no point in staying where they were.
So they wandered off trying to find their stepmother…
“WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” cheered the horrid
stepmother. “THIS IS THE BEST DECISION I’VE EVER MADE!” continued the stepmother
“Honey have you seen the children?” questioned Harold the father.
The stepmother turned down the music and replied “Oh dear I do not know” said the stepmother in a
sarcastic sorrow voice then turning it into a silent evil chuckle…
After many hours of wandering through the thick dense forest there was a sweet aroma that erupted
around the children filling their sense with a sugary appetizing smell. A glimpse of bright crystalized
colour exploded out through a gap in the dense forest. The explosion of vibrant colours were egging the
children on, their imaginations soaring as they took a step closer. One step, two steps, three steps closer then
they started to sprint as the figure of a house appeared, but this house was the house they imagined in their
dreams. As they started eating like a starving lion, chewing at the house getting a taste of past children's
saliva. Out of the door came heavy breathing and loud stomps, the figure was quite big and had a lot of rolls,
on her body and in her house. She wore an apron with pastel colours. She had ginger hair and a triple chin.
she pulled a machete out of her shirt and yelled “WHAT DO YOU LITTLE KIDS THINK YOUR DOING!”
Hansel and Gretel took a step back and whimpered like a dog, the fat lady made the ground shake as she
charged at Gretel. The gingerbread lady, took a swing at Gretel… slicing her right over the heart.
Blood was spilling out of Gretel’s body as she fell on the grass, her face was left on a scared shocked lifeless
emotion. Hansel knew he had to run but it was also too late for him, the gingerbread woman had already
sliced him in half. Hansel sorrowfully looked down at his spewing body with blood and turned like a stone
statue. The gingerbread woman squealed with joy as she received her new meat for her meat pie.
The gingerbread woman placed some more unbaked goods in the oven preparing her house for her next
victims. The gingerbread woman dragged the lifeless Hansel and Gretel into her house and made them
into a pie.
So the evil stepmother obtained what she wanted and the gingerbread woman managed to lure in a
lot more children who received the same fate as Hansel and Gretel.
My Task: Let’s imagine that we tested the air in your classroom and found 7 different kinds of mould. Eek! The cleaner says that it takes 5 days for each mould to be eradicated (removed). If the school had to remove each mould one at a time, how long would it take to remove all the mould from the classroom?
