make a gingerbread man. The old man got the oven ready and the old lady started baking. The old lady carefully
placed her gingerbread man in the oven to bake. Soon there was a noise coming from the oven! It was the
gingerbread man. He ran out of the oven and straight out of the front door. "Stop, little gingerbread man!" cried the
old man and the Woman. But the gingerbread man would not stop! The gingerbread man did not want to be eaten,
so he shouted. Run, run, as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man!

all the Way along the lane to the garden gate. Soon he came to a cow's field. You look tasty, said the cow, I
think I’ll eat you for my tea. "You will have to catch me first!" shouted the gingerbread man Run, run, as fast as you
can! You can't catch me I’m the gingerbread man!" " Next, the gingerbread man came to a horse in a stable. "You
look tasty said the horse, "You will have to catch me first!" shouted the gingerbread man. Run, run, as fast as you
can! You can't catch me I’m the gingerbread man! and off he ran towards the stream.

At the edge of the Stream stood an old fox. Why are you running away?" asked the fox. They all want to eat me
said the gingerbread man. "I think I need to cross the stream! “I can help you," said the fox, you can hold onto my
tail while I swim across. And that’s just what the gingerbread man did. I’m so pleased met you! exclaimed the.
gingerbread man They had been swimming for a little while when, all of sudden. "My feet are getting wet!" shouted
the gingerbread man. Then jump on my back," said the fox. They swam a little further when... "Oh no! I'm getting
wet again!" "Well, jump on my ears," replied the fox. But the gingerbread man was still getting wet Eventually, the
