One morning Hansel and Gretel wake up to unfortunate news: their father has to sell their little goat to be able to pay his debts. The sad children are visited by Csipet, the forest elf who tries to help them to find a treasure by using a mysterious rhyme. Their journey is hindered by the Wicked Witch and while Csipet elf and Döme bear are doing everything they can to save the children, finally Gretel manages to escape from the evil witch. The treasure is found, and the poor woodcutter father rejoices after being reunited with his children whom he thought to have lost. Which road do we take? Whom do we trust? How can we help someone who is in trouble? – we can ask each other, children and adults, in tales, as well as in the real world.
