———————————————————————
the gingerbread man
an old lady and an old man
lived in a little house by themselves
they had no children
and they felt very lonely and sad at times
it gets so boring with just the two of us
you are always out in the garden
and I have nothing to do
after I finish my cooking and cleaning
well I’m sure you can find
some other ways to keep yourself occupied
hmm I think I will bake something today
I haven’t done that in a long time
that’s a good idea
go ahead and do that
make something interesting for dinner tonight
now I have to head out to the garden again
as there are still some more weeds to be pulled out
the old lady decided she would make some gingerbread
she got out all of the ingredients she needed
I needed the dough for the gingerbread
softly humming to herself
suddenly she had an idea
let me do something
I will make the gingerbread in the shape of a man
a gingerbread man
my husband will be very amused I’m sure
so the old lady rolled out the door
and cut it out in the shape of a man
let me see now
one little ball to be shaped into a mouth
two little chocolate chips for eyes
and these pretty red cherries for buttons
oh that’s one handsome gingerbread man
I’m sure he’ll taste as good as he looks
now into the oven
the old lady went and sat on her rocking chair
kneading away
while waiting for the gingerbread man to bake
I’m starting to get the lovely smell of gingerbread
must be done by now
let me go and check
the old lady put on her
oven gloves and went to open the oven door
but as she did
the gingerbread man got up from the baking tray
and jumped out of the oven
good heavens what was that
before she realized what was happening
the gingerbread man ran to the open window
jumped out
and then a second was running down the garden
and out into the
hey where do you think you’re going
come right back here
we are supposed to be having you for dinner
oh no no I am not your dinner
for you can’t lay your hands on me
run run as fast as you can
you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man
the old lady’s husband looked in surprise
at his wife running after a gingerbread man
what’s happening
stopped staring and run and catch that robe
I had baked him for our dinner
but how did he run out
I will tell you all that later
quick catch him before he vanishes
the old man starts running after the gingerbread man
shouting at him to stop
the old lady cannot catch me
neither can you
run run as fast as you can
you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man
down the road ran the gingerbread man
with the old man and the lady running behind him
a cow sitting beside the road
saw the gingerbread man and said
you look so tasty
I want to eat you
the old lady and old man cannot catch me
see if you can catch me you fat thing
fat then you cheeky fellow
just you wait till I catch you
the cow started running after the gingerbread man
along with the old man and the old lady
run run as fast as you can
along the road they ran
with all the passerbies looking at them in surprise
a little way ahead
a horse that was traveling along the road
stop to see what was happening
that sure looks like a tasty meal
meet everyone out of my way
I’m going to catch that fellow
and having for dinner instead of hey
so you also want to eat me
come on you can also try
but you’ll have to start galloping instead of trotting
he he he believe me
you will be having your hay only for dinner after all
so the horse also joined the old lady
old man and the cow
to try and catch the gingerbread man
the gingerbread man was having a lot of fun
seeing all of them trying to catch him
a little way ahead he stood by the roadside
don’t you think you should give up
let me tell you again
run run as fast as you can
you can’t catch me I’m the gingerbread man
once again the gingerbread man started running
looking back at all those
chasing him with a big grin on his face
a little way ahead was a big
fat pig walking along with its piglets
when it saw the gingerbread man it said
that dice sure smells good
should be a good treat for my little piggies
wait wait I want to have a word with you
no you don’t you want to make a meal in me
and that is not going to happen
you stinking thing
what how dare you you rude fellow
I will show you
come on piggies let’s catch him and eat him
and so the pig and piglets also join the rest
to try and catch the gingerbread man
up ahead there was a farm
and near the fence was a big brown hen
when she saw the gingerbread man she said
