While the children were settled down, though, she captured the two children and planned to eat them! The old woman was boiling water and heating her stove as the children sat locked up, anxiously. "Climb into the oven and see if it's warm enough." The old woman commanded. The young girl knew what would happen. She said, "I do not think I will fit." "The door is big enough!" The old woman shouted, "I can get in myself!" The old woman stooped over and climbed into the oven to prove it could be done. The brother and sister rushed forward, shutting her inside!
