This story teaches children many lessons. But the most important lesson of all is not to trust strangers, even if they treat you well. The witch acts like a very kind old woman. She promises you delicious food and soft beds - that's why Hansel and Gretel come into her house. She also teaches the lesson that things that look very good can be bad. This is the truth about the gingerbread house. To two hungry children, a house made of gingerbread and candy may seem like a piece of heaven, but entering the gingerbread house almost costs them their lives.
