hi with the levine family and today we
will be reading hansel and gretel for
you here on story circle at cool school
here we go
once upon a time two kids named hansel
and gretel lived with their very
forgetful older brother richard he was
always leaving them behind at soccer
practice ballet rehearsal
at karate lessons and the supermarket
richard was so forgetful that gretel
started carrying around a pocketful of
breadcrumbs so she could leave a trail
to find their way back home whenever
richard forgot about them one day they
went for a walk in the woods to do a
little bird watching gretel carefully
dropping breadcrumbs along the way
hansel and gretel spotted a very lovely
red robin and as they were watching him
richard remembered that he had left the
oven on he forgot to tell hansel and
gretel that he needed to run back home
to turn off the oven before he burned
his frozen pizza nothing's worse than
burnt pizza not even leaving little kids
alone in the forest
actually leaving children in the woods
is way worse but it was okay since
gretel left a trail of breadcrumbs and
uh-oh
that little red robin ate all the crumbs
how will hansel and gretel ever get back
now
hansel and gretel began to roam the
woods looking for the way home their
little bellies were really starting to
growl with hunger a nice hot pizza sure
would be good right about now it was
then that they saw a house made of
gingerbread and candy
could it be true
they ran up and started taking bites of
the house
it was true and it was delicious
justice gretel was about to lick the
frosting off the windowsill a mean old
witch popped her head out the window oh
no you don't sorry we're just so hungry
well why didn't you say so come in come
in i'll feed you and setting you up
hansel and gretel were so hungry they
went into her house even though they
thought it might be a bad idea to hang
out with the witch especially since
their mommy and daddy always told them
never to go with strangers the witch fed
them more candy and cake and pie she
made chicken and waffles and mashed
potatoes with little rivers of gravy and
syrup the witch even had homemade cotton
candy the food was delicious and hansel
and gretel had nearly forgotten that
they needed to get back home well
how are you feeling nice and full
oh yes thank you
good
because when i turn you into puppies
you'll be nice and chubby perfectly
cuddly
did you say turn us into puppies
why yes
i get pretty lonely out here in the
woods and puppies are fun to play with
even better than children they grow up
and become teenagers
yuck
hansel and gretel were not okay with
this at all they loved puppies as much
as the next kid but they didn't want to
be puppies they had to find a way out
that night as the witch left snoring
louder than a dump truck i might add hey
i go from broom i don't snore they were
just about to sneak out of the witch's
gingerbread candy house when hansel
stepped on a dog toy that let out a loud
squeak
the witch woke up
oh no you don't my pretty puppies gretel
grabbed a stick and waved it at the
witch
back off you won't turn me into a dog
look that was no ordinary stick for
playing fetch
that was the witch's magic wand she used
for casting spells
when gretel waited at the witch and said
the word dog the witch herself started
to turn into a big gray labrador puppy
she tried to yell no stop but all that
came out was
hansel and gretel were afraid she would
be a mean dog and they backed away
[Music]
but she happily jumped and licked their
faces she was a great big puppy they had
defeated the witch and they had a new
dog for a pet
as you know dogs are excellent and
finding their way around with her big
nose she could smell the trail of
breadcrumbs that gretel had left and the
robin had eaten and she led them home
richard was so happy to see hansel and
gretel did i forget to bring you guys
with me when i went home to see if my
pizza was ready yes oops sorry about
that
then he saw the puppy they brought with
them and he said that of course they
could keep the dog as long as they
didn't get him in trouble with their mom
and dad they named her gingerbread in
honor of the house where they found her
gingerbread turned out to be super
useful around the house barking whenever
richard forgot things like leaving the
oven on
or forgetting to turn off the faucet
or where he left the car in every
parking lot they ever go to
and so richard gingerbread hansel and
gretel all lived happily ever after
the end
thank you so much for watching be sure
to subscribe for more awesome stories
here at coolschool
bye bye
today we're excited to be reading
pinocchio for story circle here at cool
school okay you guys here we go
[Music]
pinocchio didn't like to tell the truth
and depetto always knew when he was
telling a bit because his nose would
grow a little bit bigger every time he
lied
yep just grow and grow he told geppetto
he finished all his veggies when really
he fed them to the dog
and he told him he'd done all his
homework when really he just played
video games all afternoon
and one time he said he cleaned his room
when really all he'd done is push all
his toys under his bed and threw his
dirty clothes out the window
naughty pinocchio
