Hänsel.

(They get rude and begin to quarrel for the strawberries. Hänsel gains the victory, and puts the whole basket to his mouth until it is empty.)
Gretel (horrified, clasping her hands together).
Hänsel, what have you done?
O Heaven! all the strawberries eaten.
You glutton! Listen, you'll have a punishment
from the mother—this passes a joke!
Hänsel (quietly).
