Hans comes to Gretel. 'Good day, Gretel.' 'Good day, Hans. What

good thing do you bring?' 'I bring nothing, but would have

something given.' Gretel says to Hans: 'I will go with you.'

Hans takes Gretel, ties her to a rope, leads her to the rack, and

binds her fast. Then Hans goes to his mother. 'Good evening,

mother.' 'Good evening, Hans. Where have you been?' 'With

Gretel.' 'What did you take her?' 'I took her nothing.' 'What did

Gretel give you?' 'She gave me nothing, she came with me.' 'Where

have you left Gretel?' 'I led her by the rope, tied her to the

rack, and scattered some grass for her.' 'That was ill done,

Hans, you should have cast friendly eyes on her.' 'Never mind,

will do better.'

Hans went into the stable, cut out all the calves' and sheep's

eyes, and threw them in Gretel's face. Then Gretel became angry,

tore herself loose and ran away, and was no longer the bride of

Hans.
