Hansel's Journal

Journal entry - Hansel 1812

I cannot give up, I promised Gretel I would take care of her and that we would come out of this, find our way back and all would be well, although I doubt now we would be welcome. We have wandered aimlessly, unable to find a path that may lead us safely anywhere.

Nights are cold and he sounds of animals send shivers up my back. I hold my sister in my arms and murmur soothing words of comfort. She knows that I am frightened as well and that while I coax her into sleep, I get very little, constantly watching the dark shadows.

Each day I tell her we might get lucky and finally find a way out of the forest but it just grows darker and deeper. I can't answer her questions about our parents, only try and keep her calm. She cries all the time now, frightened, and we are both tired and very hungry.

Today we were blessed. After hours of stumbling through thick forest, chewing on roots and bark we came to a small clearing that held a welcoming looking little house made of bread! Gretel cried but his time with joy. A kindly looking old woman beckoned from the door way and we hurried forward to receive her hospitality.
