The story continues...
Just as the two siblings were obliviously eating the candy house, a kind and amiable voice came from behind them, "Who is nibbling on my house?"
The siblings were startled and turned around... It was a well-dressed lady of grace and beauty.
"Sorry, we are children who got lost in the forest. We were so hungry... so we only took a small bite."
The lady put on a sad expression and said gently, "Oh, poor children, come in and eat! There's still much more delicious food inside the house."
The siblings were invited in and indulged in endless sweets.
After eating their fill, the lady had them sleep in a beautiful and comfortable bed. The siblings were so happy and soon fell asleep.
Day after day, the siblings lived this way, eat! Sleep! Eat! Sleep! They had already forgotten their past hardships.
Gradually, the siblings noticed their bodies began to emit a sweet scent, and later, golden syrup even started oozing from their pores.
