- One day the woman decided to make a gingerbread man for them to eat. - She then cut out a lovely gingerbread man and gave him blueberries for his eyes and buttons and icing for his mouth and clothes. - Soon enough, he was ready and the woman opened the oven door, but to her surprise the Gingerbread man jumped out of it. - “Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread man," he laughed and kept running. - 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. - But the Gingerbread man was faster. - “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. - 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. - “Please, don’t eat me," cried the Gingerbread man. - “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. - 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.
