The fox said: "I don't want to catch you." Just then the Gingerbread Man came to a river. He could not swim. "Jump on my tail" said the fox.

"I will take you across the river."

In the middle of the river the fox said:

"Jump on my back, the water is deep."

Finally the fox said: "Jump on my nose."

The Gingerbread Man jumped on the nose of the fox. The fox snapped at him.

That was the end of the Gingerbread man.
