The children, seeing the house the bird landed on, stopped and looked for some time. It was not a normal house at all. It was made of bread and candy, and the (window) were made of sugar. The children (sudden) ran to the house and started to eat it.
As they ate, a (woman) voice could be heard from inside the house saying, "Who's that, eating at my home?"
The children dropped what they (eat), and were about to run away, but then a very old woman appeared at the door. "Ah! Children!" she said. "Do not run, come in. There's much more food inside. " The woman seemed so kind the children lost all feeling of danger, and went straight to her, and let her take their hands and lead them into her room.
They (give) all kinds of delicious food and drink, and they were told that they could stay as long as they wanted, for the woman had another room two clean beds.
As kind as the old lady appeared to be, she was really a terrible witch (女巫), who liked to eat children. Her house was made of bread and candy, because children liked such things, and so it would be easier for the witch (get) them to stay. She did not eat them right away, for often the children were very thin, and the witch wished to make them (fat) than before, by giving them a lot of food.
And so, the next morning, she (go) into the room where the children were sleeping. As she looked down on them in their beds, she said, "Yes. They will make a very delicious dinner. "
