Answer these questions in English

Hansel and Gretel were children of a woodcutter. The family was so poor that the mother persuades the father to abandon the children in the forest, because it had no way to feed them. It leaves them in the woods, but Hansel stones mark the path home. They return, and the next day the father takes even so far, but Hansel, lucid, redials the way. The third day the woodcutter leads to the heart of the forest itself. Hansel marks the way, this time with breadcrumbs, but quickly warns that the birds have eaten. The brothers spend two days wandering through the woods, until they find a house built with sugar, candy and gingerbread. They begin to devour the walls.
