Then they went to sleep; but the evening arrived and no one came to visit the poor children, and in the dark night they awoke, and Hansel comforted his sister by saying, "Only wait, Grethel, till the moon comes out, then we shall see the crumbs of bread which I have dropped, and they will show us the way home."

Who acts: wood, evening, one, Hansel, moon, we · What happens: go, sleep, arrive, come, visit, awake · To what, where: poor children, sister, Grethel, crumbs, way, us · Speech: someone speaks here
