SUMMARY

The following summary is based on history of Hansel and Gretel with the Chapulin Colorado.
Hansel and Gretel are the young children of a poor woodcutter. When a great famine settles over the land, thewoodcutter's second, abusive wife decides to take the children into the woods and leave them there to fend for themselves, so that she and her husband do not starve to death. The woodcutter opposes the plan but finally, and reluctantly, submits to his wife's scheme. They are unaware that in the children's bedroom, Hansel and Gretel have overheard them. After the parents have gone to bed, Hansel sneaksout of the house and gathers as many white pebbles as he can, then returns to his room, reassuring Gretel that God will not forsake them.
The next day, the family walk deep into the woods and Hansel lays a trail of white pebbles. After their parents abandon them, the children wait for the moon to rise and then they followed the pebbles back home. They return home safely, much to theirstepmother's horror. Once again provisions become scarce and the stepmother angrily orders her husband to take the children further into the woods and leave them there to die. Hansel and Gretel attempt to gather more pebbles, but find the doors locked and find it impossible to escape.

The following morning, the family treks into the woods. Hansel takes a slice of bread and leaves a trail of bread crumbsfor them to follow home. However, after they are once again abandoned, they find that the birds have eaten the crumbs and they are lost in the woods. After days of wandering, they follow a beautiful white bird to a clearing in the woods, and discover a large cottage built of gingerbread and cakes with window panes of clear sugar. Hungry and tired, the children begin to eat the rooftop of the candyhouse, when the door opens and a "very old woman" emerges and lures the children inside, with the promise of soft beds and delicious food. They do this without knowing the fact that their hostess is a wicked witch who waylays children to cook and eat them.
In this morning Chapulin Colorado was walking near there while he read a book and listening to the conversation of the children and “very oldwoman”.
they find only their father; his wife died from unknown cause. Their father had spent all his days lamenting the loss of his children, and is delighted to see them safe and sound. With the witch's wealth, they all live happily ever after.

FIRST SCENE: DON’T LET ME GO FATHER
There was a crisis in Anton’s Town. His family really was poor and they needed food. So He wanted to find a wayto “help” his family…
FATHER: Where is my wife? I have something to discuss with her.
MOTHER: (Off-stage) Anty-Wanty dear! Anty-Wanty where are you? It’s dinner time.
FATHER: Oh no, she’s doing that Anty-Wanty thing again. That means bad news.
Here I am, Beatrice! What is it, my darling?
(Enter mother.)
MOTHER: Oh there you are, Anton.
FATHER: Beatrice, I have some bad news for you.MOTHER: Can things get any worse than they already are?
FATHER: I have spent the day wandering the town looking for work.
MOTHER: And?
FATHER: There are no jobs to be found.
MOTHER: But what shall we do? We are so poor.
FATHER: I have had an idea. We must send the children into the forest to live.
They can search for roots, nuts and berries. We simply cannot afford to
feed them anymore.
MOTHER:I suppose then we could eat every day, instead of taking turns. But….
FATHER: That’s settled then. We’ll do it tomorrow.
MOTHER: But … but…. (Enter Hansel and Gretel.)
HANSEL: Mother, father, did you call us for dinner?
MOTHER: No, it’s not your turn today.
GRETEL: But mother, we are starving.
FATHER: There is not enough to go around, Gretel my dear.
HANSEL: But we thought you would find...
