Some references to Hansel and Gretel. Other versions are darker still. Unwanted children being abandoned by family left in the woods for the animals to feed on them. A witch finds them and desires to eat them. The endings are what varies the most from the witch devouring them to them eating the witch. There might be one where a hunter saves the day. Not sure. Anywho. Thought the parallels were notable.
