Read the excerpt from "Hansel and Gretel.” Early in the morning, before the children were awake, [the old woman] rose up, and wh

en she saw them both sleeping so peacefully, with their round rosy cheeks, she muttered to herself: "That’ll be a dainty bite.” Then she seized Hansel with her bony hand and carried him into a little stable, and barred the door on him; he might scream as much as he liked, it did him no good. Then she went to Gretel, shook her till she awoke, and cried: "Get up, you lazy-bones, fetch water and cook something for your brother. When he’s fat I’ll eat him up.” Gretel began to cry bitterly, but it was of no use; she had to do what the wicked witch told her. So the best food was cooked for poor Hansel, but Gretel got nothing but crab-shells. Every morning the old woman hobbled out to the stable and cried: "Hansel, put out your finger, that I may feel if you are getting fat.” But Hansel always stretched out a bone, and the old dame, whose eyes were dim, couldn’t see it, and thinking always it was Hansel’s finger, wondered why he fattened so slowly. When four weeks passed and Hansel still remained thin, she lost patience and determined to wait no longer.

She creates conflict by separating the brother and sister.
She provides comedic relief by being unable to see clearly.

The Appalachian Trail consists of 2,168 miles of breathtakingly beautiful country. It extends from the top of Mt. Katahdin in Main to the top of Springer Mountain in Georgia. The Trail passes through New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains, the Berkshires, Catskills, and Poconos. Towards the southern end are the Appalachian Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley, and the Great Smokies. Hiking through these mountain ranges is very challenging. In fact, some say “brutal.” To date, most people have taken about six months to hike the entire Trail—if they have succeeded
