"Hurry up Gretel! You know we aren't supposed to be outside!" 
muttered fearful Hansel;  
alarmed by his sister's sudden recklessness.

Realizing that all his previous warnings were too sloppy 
in front of the evident danger that lied ahead, 
he once again exclaimed; this time with painful tears in his eyes, 
"I'm telling you, this won't end good sissy.. She'll eat us alive..!"

Oblivious to the obvious crisis, 
callously jumping off the water-side pebbles, 
Gretel playfully giggled and said, 
"Not this time Hans.. I'm sure, I've locked the oven lid tightly! 
The witch is gonna burn!"

PS – The inspiration for this short-story of mine comes from a fairy-tale by the same name. It is a well-known German fairy tale recorded by the Brothers Grimm and published in 1812.
