Once upon a time, there lived an old woman with her husband, in a little old house. The couple had no
children. They felt lonely. So one day the woman decided to make a boy of gingerbread. woman : "dear
husband, i shall bake a gingerbread mann today." She got everything ready, then she carefully mixed the
batter, rolled out the dough, and cat out a very nice gingerbread man woman : "aaa.., what a fine
looking gingerbread man it is !, i shall bake it now". The old woman put him in the oven to bake.
Complications
She waited for a little time, then she went to the oven again. woman : "emm.. this smells delicious". She
added icing for his hair and mouth, she used candies for eyes and cherries for his buttons. After it was
fully done, up jomped the gingerbread man. The woman was shocked to see the gingerbread man run.
gingerbread : "don't eat me". He ran out of the window.. woman : "stop..stop.." gingerbread : "run, run
as fast as you can. No one can catch me, because i'm the gingerbread man!" The old woman ran after
him but they could not catch him. And so the gingerbread man ran and ran. woman : "stop.."
While running, the cow saw him cow : "you smell so fresh, just fine enough to eat" gingerbread : "i ran
away from an old woman, and i can run away from a fat cow like you!" gingerbread :"i definitely can!
hahaha.." And the cow started to chase the little man. But the gingerbread man ran faster. gingerbread :
"run, run as fast as you can, no one can catch me because i'm the gingerbread man" The cow ran after
the gingerbread man along with the old woman, but she could not catch him.
The gingerbread man kept running and soon he met a pig on his way. pig : "you look so tasty! i wanna
eat you right away" gingerbread : "Try harder you dirty pig, you can't catch me. i ran away from an old
woman, i ran away from a cow, and i can surely run away from you! I can!" gingerbread : "run, run as
fast as you can!, no one can catch me because i'm the gingerbread man!" The pig joined the woman and
the cow to chase the gingerbread man, but he could not catch him.
The gingerbread man ran and ran. While he ran, the hen saw him. chiken : "Oh what a meal! I shall feed
this to my little ones". The hen ran behind the gingerbread man. chiken : "You look just fine to peck for
dinner. I'm going to take you home to my little ones, Mr gingerbread man" gingerbread : "I ran away
from an old woman, I ran away from the cow, I ran away from the pig, and I can run away from you little
creature! I can!" gingerbread : "Run, run as fast as you can. No one can catch me because I'm the
gingerbread man". The chicken ran after the gingerbread man along with the group, but she could not
catch him. The gingerbread man was so proud of him self. gingerbread : "What a slow coach these peole
are!".
Resolution
As he ran ahead, he slowed down as he saw a river. He was scared that he would get soggy in that
water. Near the river, he saw a fox, sipping on some water.fox : "What a wonderful meal for the
stomach today!" The fox too ran behind the gingerbread man. fox : "Hey... you... young man. Can we be
friends? If you don't mind" This is the first time the gingerbread man had heard something like this, he
was very pleased. gingerbread : "Well Mr Fox. I don't mind but here's one condition" fox : "Go ahead,
Mr gingerbread" gingerbread : "Could you help me cross this river?" fox : "Yes, young man. Why not?"
The gingerbread man was so relieved. fox : "Come on Mr gingerbread man, get on my back. I shall help
you cross the river" The gingerbread man got onto his back, and right after the cunning fox reached the
other end of the river.... He rolled him into the air and opened his big mouth. Snap... and in went the
gingerbread man. fox : "indeed he was very tasty" That was the end of the gingerbread man.
