After the
witch was
killed,
Hansel and Gretel wander around in the forest trying to find their way home. At a fork in the path is stationed a forest ogre's guard; one path leads out of the forest, the other to the ogre's
supper table (and not as a
guest)!
By order of the ogre, the guard was to be asked only one question by each traveler. The dead witch's grateful cat had warned Hansel and Gretel that the guard lies every other time. Hansel and Gretel asked, one by one, Hansel first, then Gretel.
Q: What question did Gretel ask the guard to be sure to infer the correct decision?
