Nice Hansel and Gretel
The H & G is a great idea but I want it to be very short (ie easy and quick to read in class). With the Humpty Dumpty idea the actor would be on the witness stand with bandages on head, arm in sling, cast, etc. He survived the fall, after all he wasn't able to be put back together, not necessarily dead

I really do like that H & G idea though, so maybe I will try to think of a way to make it short.
