A long, long time ago an old woman and

an old man lived a quiet life in a small cottage
by the river. One day the woman decided to
make a gingerbread man for them to eat. She

for his mouth and clothes.

The woman put him in the oven to bake.

Soon enough, he was ready and the woman
opened the oven door, but to her surprise the
Gingerbread man jumped out of it. “Don’t eat
me!" he shouted in terror and ran out of the
window. The woman and the man started
chasing after him. “Stop! Stop!” they shouted,
but he was faster than they were.

“Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t

catch me, I’m the Gingerbread man," he
laughed and kept running. As he was running,
he came across a pig. The pig tried to take a
bite out of him but once again the Gingerbread
man was faster.

“Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t

catch me, I’m the Gingerbread man," he said
and carried on running. The pig joined the
chase and now the old woman, the old man and
the pig were running after him. But the
Gingerbread man was faster.

Further along the path he came across a

cow. “Stop!” called the cow, “I want to eat
you." But the Gingerbread man started running
again and the cow couldn't catch him. “Run,
run as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m
the Gingerbread man!” he said.

It was not long before the Gingerbread

man came across a horse. “Stop, little man! I
want to eat you!”, the horse said, but the
Gingerbread man outran him too. “Run, run as
fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the
Gingerbread man!”
 The horse joined the old woman, the old
man and the pig, but the Gingerbread man only
laughed at them. He kept laughing until he
reached the river banks. “Oh, no! Now they
will get me and eat me! If only I could cross
the river," he thought.

Suddenly a fox snuck up to him. “Please,

don’t eat me," cried the Gingerbread man. "I
won’t eat you," the fox promised. “I just want
to help you! Jump on my back and I will swim
across the river and you will be safe.” The
Gingerbread man had no other choice. He
jumped on the fox’s back and they crossed the
river easily and safely.

As soon as they stepped onto dry ground,

the Gingerbread man thanked the fox. But a
second later the fox opened his mouth and
gobbled up the Gingerbread man.

Yes, Sir.

The title of the story is “The Gingerbread

Man”.
