Hansel and Gretel: Schools Edition

Times are tough for the family in the wood
They'd eat like kings if only they could
But hunger gnaws - famine stalks the land
Something quite wicked has the upper hand!
Poor mother and father must do "what is best"...
And Hansel and Gretel will be put to the test!
Armed with their very last slice of bread
Will they eat to survive
Or
........leave
........a
..........................trail
...................................home
..............................................instead?
