Hansel and Gretel

And now the best food was cooked for poor Hansel, but Gretel got noting but crab-shells. Every morning the woman crept to the little stable, and cried." Hansel, strech out your finger that I may feel if you will soon be fat." Hansel, however, stretched out a little bone to her, and the old woman. Who had dim eyes. Could not see it. She thought it was Hansel`s finger. She was astonished that there was no way of fattening him.
