Scene 1: Left Behind
(Lights on. A quiet, empty shopping mall. Hansel and Gretel stand near the entrance, looking around.)

Narrator: 
Hansel and Gretel lived with their father and a stepmother. One day, their stepmother drove them to the mall.

Stepmother: 
(Annoyed) Stay here. I’ll be back soon.

Hansel: 
(Worried) This place feels empty...

Gretel: 
(Looking around) Are you sure we should stay?

Stepmother: 
(Cold) Just do what I said.

(She walks away. Time passes. First minutes... then hours.)

Narrator:
She never came back.

(The lights flicker. There’s a soft sound. The air feels cold.)

Hansel: 
Something’s wrong.

Gretel: 
(Whispers) We’re all alone...

(A glowing sign appears in the distance: Sugar Haven.)

Scene 2: The Sweet Trap
(Hansel and Gretel walk toward the café. A warm light shines inside.)

Hansel: 
(Excited) Wow! Look at that place!

Gretel: 
(Unsure) Everything else is closed...

(An old woman appears at the door. She wears a pink apron and smiles too much.)

Old Woman:
Hello, children! You must be hungry. Come in and eat as much as you want.

(The café smells like cookies and candy. Hansel and Gretel go in.)

Narrator: 
They walked inside.

(The café is full of cakes, candy, and cocoa fountains.)

Hansel: 
(Eating) This is amazing!

Gretel:
(Looking around) Why is this the only place open?

(Suddenly: CLICK. The door locks. The windows close with loud metal shutters.)

Hansel: 
(Jumping up) What was that?!

Old Woman: 
(Smiling coldly) You can’t leave.

(She presses a button. Candy shelves move, showing cages behind them.)

Narrator: 
It was all a trap.

(Inside the cages: clothes, shoes, backpacks.)

Gretel: 
(Scared) Hansel... other kids were here before us...

(A whisper fills the room: “Help us...”)

Scene 3: Escape!
(Hansel pulls on the door—it’s locked.)

Hansel: 
We need to get out!

Gretel: 
There must be another way!

(She sees a small door behind a shelf.)

Gretel: 
(Quietly) Over there!

(They move the shelf. A hidden door! But the old woman grabs Gretel.)

Old Woman: 
(Low and scary) You’re not leaving!

(Hansel grabs a jar and hits her arm. She lets go.)

Narrator:
They ran fast.

(They run through a dark hallway. Loud footsteps follow them.)

Hansel: 
Don’t stop!

(They turn—dead end!)

Gretel: 
(Panicking) No! We’re trapped!

(Hansel sees a red fire alarm.)

Hansel:
I got this!

(He hits the alarm. A loud siren starts. The emergency doors open. They run outside, daylight!)

Scene 4: Safe at Home
(They run home. Their father opens the door. He looks very worried.)

Father: 
Where were you?!

Narrator: 
Hansel and Gretel never trusted strangers again.

(Lights fade. The end.)
