There are some key details missing from this version of the story:
1. Hansel fools the witch into thinking that he's not getting any fatter by taking advantage of her poor eyesight, sticking a bone out through the bars of his cage whenever she comes to check his plumpness.
2. Hansel and Gretel both regain their strength during their imprisonment because Hansel shares his food with Gretel when the witch isn't looking.
3. GRETEL. PUSHES. THE. WITCH. INTO. THE. OVEN.
