Don't you just hate it when you can't remember 'stuff'? Especially when it's stuff that isn't easy to look up on Mr Google and his friends.So, I thought maybe we could pick each others' brains, on names of things, ingredients in recipes, song lyrics etc etc etc.
Here's my first one
A fairy/childrens story, about needing to find a way back from (???) and laying a trail of crumbs .... but they were eaten by birds
That's about all I can remember. I expect there were a brother and sister - I can't remember why they were being taken from their home or by whom.Any joy?

Re: Memory Bank
Maybe - I'll do a wiki or something and get a precis of the storyThanks both!
Edit That's the one! Thanks
Hansel and Gretel are the children of a poor wood cutter. Fearing starvation, the wood cutter's wife—the children's step-mother—convinces him to lead the children into the forest, and abandon them there. Hansel and Gretel hear her plan, and gather white pebbles, to leave themselves a trail home. After their return, their stepmother again convinces the wood cutter to abandon them; this time however, they can only leave a trail of breadcrumbs. Unfortunately, the various animals of the woods eat their trail of breadcrumbs causing Hansel and Gretel to become lost
OK - next query please!
