The Gingerbread Man |
|
|
Once upon a time, a
little old lady made a Gingerbread man for a treat. She put him in the oven to bake, but after a while she heard a tiny voice crying, "Help! Let me out." So she opened the oven door. |
| The little Gingerbread man shot out of
the oven and frightened the little old woman ... but she tried to catch him. The Gingerbread man was too fast. He sped up the road singing,
|
|
 |
"Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread man." |
| Soon the Gingerbread man met a cow. "Stop little man! You look good enough to eat," mooed the cow. The Gingerbread man was too fast. He sped away singing... |
 |
| "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me ... I'm the Gingerbread man." |
 |
Further down the road the
Gingerbread man met a horse. "Stop little man! I want to eat you," neighed the horse hungrily. But the Gingerbread man was too fast. He sped away singing... |
| "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me ... I'm the Gingerbread man." |
| The Gingerbread man ran faster and
faster and was proud of his running. Then he met a cunning old fox. "Stop little man, I want to talk to you!" he smiled. But the Gingerbread man sped away singing... |
 |
| "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me ... I'm the Gingerbread man." |
 |
Soon they came to a river. The fox
said "I'll help you cross the river. Hop onto my tail." So the little Gingerbread man did. |
| Before long the fox
said, "You are too heavy. Hop on my back." So the little Gingerbread man did. After a while the fox said, "You are too heavy for my back. Jump on my nose." So the little Gingerbread man did. |
 |
 |
Finally they reached the other side
of the river. The sly fox tilted back his head quickly, tossed the Gingerbread man into
the air and opened his mouth. SNAP! That was the end of the Gingerbread man.
|
| "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me ... OR MAYBE YOU CAN." |
