Hansel and Gretel is power-packed with highlight moments, of which one has to be the discovery of the Gingerbread House. Hansel and Gretel do their very best to polish it off.

A feature of this tale is that the reader does not need to be hungry at all to understand the children’s fervor. All critters know what it is to go crazy in the face of Temptation.

Nibble, nibble, little mouse,                                                                                                                               Who is gobbling up my house?

Home Ownership v. Enterprising Youth.

Hansel and Gretel’s #1 problem is, they are starving. In the Wild, sometimes there just are no roots and berries, nor anything else. It impairs any critter’s judgment. Even ours.

Rhinos never get lost in the woods, or anywhere, because 1) We can smell our way back to basecamp, and 2) We don’t fret much about where We are headed anyway. If We had breadcrumbs, We’d eat them. Duh.

Supposing Hansel and Gretel were Rhinos, they would have to be cousins or pals. By the time a sibling shows up, like 3 years, the difference in age is prohibitive to getting into trouble together. Rhino foolishness is age-specific.
