Once upon a time there was a little old woman and a little old man. The
little old woman thought she'd make a gingerbread man. She rolled out the
dough, and cut out the shape, and she put raisins for his eyes, and peppermints
for his teeth, and put icing on his head for the hair. Then she put him
in the oven, and when it smelled good, she opened up the door to take a
peek and
--- Yooop!---
out jumped the gingerbread man.
"Stop! Stop, little gingerbread man!" said the little old lady.
"I want to eat you!"
"No!" said the little gingerbread man. "I can run away from
you!"
"Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
And away he ran!
He ran till he got outside, where he saw the little old man. And the little
old man said, "Stop! Stop little gingerbread man! I want to eat you!"
And the little gingerbread man said: "NO! I ran away from the little
old woman, and I can run away from you too!
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
and away he ran!
He ran till he came to the pigsty. And the pig said
"(Oink Oink)-- Stop! Stop little gingerbread man! I want to eat you!"
But the gingerbread man said, "NO! I ran away from the little old woman,
I ran away from the little old man, and I can run away from you too!
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
and away he ran!
He ran till he came to a house. And in front of the house was a dog. And
the dog said, "STOP! Stop stop stop stop stoooooooooop! Little gingerbread
man! I want to eat you!"
But the gingerbread man said, "NO! I ran away from the little old woman,
and the little old man, and a pig, and I can run away from you too!"
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
and away he ran!
He ran till he came to a field full of cows. And the cows said,
"Mooooo! Stoooooooop! Stoooooooop little gingerbread man. We want to
eat you!"
But the gingerbread man said, "NO! I ran away from the little old woman,
I ran away from the little old man, and a pig, and a dog, and I can run
away from you too!
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
and away he ran!
He ran till he came to a river. And next to the river was a fox. The fox
said, "Hello little gingerbread man."
The gingerbread man said, "HELLO! I ran away from the little old woman,
I ran away from the little old man, and a pig, and some cows, and I can
run away from you too!
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
"But," said the fox, "I never run. And I don't want to eat
you!"
The gingerbread man said
Run, run, fast as you can!
Can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
The fox said, "Run all you want, I'm not going to chase you. But--
I would like to ask you a question."
The gingerbread man said, "What?"
The fox said, "How do figure you're going to get across that stream
without getting wet? I mean, if you get wet, you'll get soggy, right?"
The gingerbread man didn't say anything, but he looked very thoughtful.
The fox said, "I've got an idea."
The gingerbread man said, "What?"
The fox said, "I'm going to swim across, right now. If you want, you
can hitch a ride on my tail."
The gingerbread man said, "OK," and grabbed the fox's tail. The
fox started to wade into the water.
After a few steps, the fox said, "Oh, little gingerbread man. The water
is getting kind of deep. I'm afraid you might get wet. Why don't you climb
up onto my back?" The gingerbread man looked, and said, "Gee,
the water is getting kind of deep, ok," and he climbed up onto the
fox's back.
After a few more steps, the fox said, "Oh, little gingerbread man,
the water is getting even deeper, I'm afraid you might get wet. Why don't
you climb up onto my-- neck?" The gingerbread man looked, and said,
"Gee the water is getting kind of deep, ok," and he climbed up
onto the fox's neck.
After a few more steps, the fox said, "Oh, little gingerbread man,
the water is getting even deeper, I'm afraid you might get wet. Why don't
you climb up onto my-- head?" The gingerbread man looked, and said,
"Gee the water is getting kind of deep, ok," and he climbed up
onto the fox's head.
After a few more steps, the fox said, "Oh, little gingerbread man,
the water is getting even deeper, I'm afraid you might get wet. Why don't
you climb up onto my-- nose?" The gingerbread man looked, and said,
"Gee the water is getting kind of deep, ok," and he climbed up
onto the fox's nose.
And the fox went-- SHLLLURP!-- and that was the end of the gingerbread man.
