In a clearing, Hansel and Gretel find a gingerbread house with a gingerbread cookie fence, and nibble on broken-off bits. The house belongs to a strange old woman.
H&G-175 H&G-180
She offers the children all sorts of sweet treats. Hansel is tempted, but Gretel is cautious. The children try to leave, but the old woman—really a witch—commands, “Hocus, pocus, bonus jocus—feet be still!”
H&G-187 H&G-196
The witch has tied Hansel to a ring on the side of her house, and the children try unsuccessfully to free him. Gretel must help the witch feed the fire in her oven.

Meanwhile, Hansel tries not to eat the cookies the witch has given him. Gretel tricks the witch into bending down and shoves her into the oven prepared for Hansel.

The witch is dead, and the gingerbread cookies are revealed as village children—but their eyes are all closed. Gretel touches each with the witch's staff, and the children return to life.
