"Finally they saw a very unusual house. It was made of gingerbread and covered with cakes, and the windows were made of clear sugar. And they began to eat parts of the roof and windows. But then they suddenly heard an old woman's voice say, 'Who is eating my house?' 'Oh it's just the wind,' answered Hansel. Well, the woman was old but not totally out of it. 'Out of it' means not completely coherent, not really thinking rationally.
"Well, suddenly the door opened and the old woman walked out. 'Oh, do come in and stay with me.' She took them both by the hand and she gave them lots and lots of food to eat. They kept eating until they could not eat anymore.
"Well, Hansel was usually in tip-top shape -- which means great physical condition -- but after eating so much he felt sick as a dog and felt like he was running a fever. That means to have a fever. He was nervous that he was going to lose his cookies. Now that simply means to vomit. Why cookies, I don't know, but it's very common."
