All at once the door opened and an old, old Woman, supporting herself on a
crutch, came hobbling out
Hansel put out a knuckle-bone, and the old Woman, whose eyes were dim, could
not see, and thought it was his linger, and she was much astonished that he did
not get fat
By day she made herself into a cat
. . . Or a screech owl
Once there was a poor old woman who lived in a village
At the third sting the Few screamed, and down went his tail between his legs
So she seized him with two fingers, and carried him upstairs
The Cat stole away behind the city walls to the church
Now we will go up I ho hill and have a good feast before the squirrel carries off
all the nuts
When he went over the wall he was terrified to see the Witch before him
The Witch climbed up
Pulling the piece of soft cheese out of his pocket, he squeezed it till the moisture
ran out
They worked themselves up into such a rage that they tore up trees by the roots,
and hacked at each other till they both fell dead
Away they flew over stock and stone, at such a pace that his hair whistled in the
wind
When she got to the wood, she met a Wolf
‘O Grandmother, what big ears you have got,’ she said
At last she reached the cellar, and there she found an old, old woman with a
shaking head
When Tom had said good-bye to his Father, they went away with him.
The Old Man had to sit by himself, and ate his food from a wooden bowl
The quicker he played, the higher she had to jump

Hansel picked up the glittering white pebbles and filled his pockets with them
HEADPIECEI
‘Stupid goose!’ cried the Witch, ‘The opening is big enough; you can see that I
could get into it myself’
Just then a butcher came along the mad, trundling a young pig in a wheel-barrow
At last the old woman came back, and said in a droning voice: ‘Greeting to thee,
Zachiel!’
A short time after they came upon a Cat, sitting in the read, with a face as long
as a wet week
The Ass brayed, the Hound barked, the Cat mewed, and the Cock crowed
When she saw the pickaxe just above her head. Clever Elsa burst into tears
On the road he met a Sparrow
On the opposite side of the lake stood a splendid brightly-lighted Castle
There was once a Fisherman, who lived with his Wife in a miserable little hovel
to the sea
‘Flounder, Flounder in the sea, Prythee, hearken unto me’
The Golden Castle of Stromberg
One day he saw three Robbers fighting
She did not go once but many times, backwards and forwards to the well
