Answer:

She tricks the master and his guest.

Explanation:

Gretel was a cook with the habit of always tasting the meal she is cooking. She always says  "A good cook must know how her cooking tastes!". One day her master asked her to roast two fat chickens which she did, by the time the chicken was almost cooked the guest had not arrived so the master went in search of the guest.

When the master left, she began to eat the chicken. Just as she was finishing off a leg, her master burst into the kitchen. "Quick, Gretel, our guest will be here any moment. Prepare the feast!". when the guest arrived and knocked, she went to the door and told him to go saying to the guest that the master wanted to cut off his ears and eat them. Gretel than ran to her master and told him that the guest had ran with the roasted chickens, so the master went to the door and screamed to his guest to his guest. "Just leave me one!" He waved his big knife in the air. "Leave one for me to eat!".

When the guest heard the masters words, he ran faster. Gretel smiled and said "Never mind, master I'll fix you a nice big sandwich!"

Her master smiled at her saying "You're a clever girl, Gretel, You always make the best of things."

In Lord of The Flies, which events foreshadow the boy's descent into savagery?
defon
In Lord of the Flies, Golding deliberately develops the boys' descent into savagery slowly, as to reveal the dangerous and seductive nature of giving over to base urges and animalistic desires. The boys arrive on the island as proper English school boys, complete in their privage school uniforms and choir togs, but even during their first day on the island, the reader can see how the environment of the island challenges the boys' former preconceptions of proper social behavior. For example, the oppressive heat immediately has the boys stripping out of their school clothes to be more comfortable; in normal society, running around naked would be strictly taboo, but on the island, of course, the boys begin to accept their nudity as a practical matter.

The boys' shedding their clothes is the first major indicator of their transformation into savages, but perhaps the most shocking example of true savagery occurs in Chapter Eight, "Gift for the Darkness," as the hunters ruthlessly and violently hunt and kill the sow. Hunting in itself is not an indicator of true savagery, but the boys' violent actions, exultation, and sheer enjoyment of the brutality during the act suggests that they have completely transformed into violent savages. The boys feel an inherent thrill as they stalk their victim during the hunt and work themselves practically into a frenzy as they jab their spears at the sow. Roger, particularly, derives enjoyment from the sows' shrill squeal as he drives his spear in further. The shocking blood-lust demonstrated by Jack, Roger, and the other hunters not only reveals their true savage natures, but also foreshadows future scenes of death, such as Simon's tragic end
