About this ebook
This is an easy book to read in Spanish. The well known story of Hansel and Gretel is retold in full using modern language. We got rid of the difficult words. Left are good words to know, words that you will often see and hear.
If you already have a bit of Spanish then you will know many of these words, which allows you to concentrate on how they are used. This makes good use of your time. After the story in Spanish only it is repeated a sentence at a time. Spanish followed by the English translation. This allows you to check if you understood everything correctly and helps you to remember it. If you don't know many Spanish words read the second version first.

Hansel y Gretel
Hace mucho tiempo, en el lindero de un oscuro bosque, vivía un hombre que trabajaba cortando leña para vivir.
El leñador era muy pobre y vivía en una casita de madera con sus dos hijos: un niño y una niña, y su madrastra.
El nombre del niño era Hansel y su hermana pequeña Gretel.
Este año era muy duro y algunos días no tenían nada para comer.
Después de un largo día cortando leña, el padre llegó tarde a casa.
Hansel y Gretel ya estaban en la cama pero no podían dormir porque estaban muy hambrientos.
Su esposa estaba sentada sola en la cocina y él pudo ver que algo la preocupaba.
—No podemos continuar así—dijo ella—, no tenemos suficiente comida para todos.
El leñador se sentó junto a su esposa.
También tenía mucha hambre.
— ¿Qué podemos hacer?—, dijo el cansado leñador.
—Ya sé lo que debemos hacer—contestó su esposa con una mirada tan fría como la piedra—, mañana por la mañana temprano nos llevamos a los niños a lo más profundo del bosque y los dejamos allí para que otra persona los alimente.
El pobre marido se sorprendió, pero estaba demasiado cansado para discutir con ella, así que se fue a la cama.
Hansel y Gretel oyeron todo esto y Gretel se echó a llorar.
—No te preocupes — dijo Hansel —, Yo sé lo que hacer.
Hansel esperó hasta que su madrastra se fue a la cama.
En silencio se deslizó por las escaleras y salió por la puerta.
Tenía mucho miedo de que ella le oyera.
La luna era brillante y redonda.
Hansel podía ver pequeñas piedras blancas por todo el suelo.
Esto era lo que necesitaba.
Pronto recogió suficientes para llenarse los bolsillos de la chaqueta.
A la mañana siguiente, sin desayunar, el leñador salió de la casa al amanecer y fue a cortar leña.
Todavía estaba cansado y hambriento y había olvidado todo lo que había dicho su mujer.
Pero la madrastra no había olvidado.
—Levantaos, niños perezosos. Tenemos que ir al bosque a trabajar.
Sobre la mesa de la cocina había dos pequeños trozos de pan viejo y duro que debían durar a Hansel y Gretel todo el día.
Gretel los metió en su bolsillo, porque los bolsillos de Hansel ya estaban llenos de piedras.
Y
