There's a surprising amount to the story of Hansel and Gretel. There's your average fairy tale weirdness, like load-bearing cake and aquatic duck Uber, but there's an unexpected humanity in the story that I think is overlooked. I hope you like it. The creature is punyaiama, from India, and she's the reason you can't get drunk in your own home. -- Sponsors: Simplisafe has a massive Black Friday sale, so check it out before December 2nd and when you do, go to https://simplisafe.com/legends!
