Once upon a time a little old man and a little old woman lived in an old house next to a forest. They were very happy except for one thing. They had no child, and they wished for one very much.
One day the little old woman was baking gingerbread. She cut a cake in the shapes of a little boy and put it into the oven. In a little while, she went to see if it was baked. When she opened the oven door, the little Gingerbread Boy jumped out and began to run away as fast as he could go.
The little old woman called her husband. They both ran after the Gingerbread Boy, but they couldn’t catch him.
Soon Gingerbread Boy ran past a field full of farmers. He called out to them as he went by, saying: “I’ve run away from a little old woman, a little old man, and I can run away from you”.
All the farmers started to run after him. They ran fast but they couldn’t catch him.
Soon the Gingerbread Boy ran past a cow. He called out to him: “I’ve run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a field full of farmers, and I can run away from you”.
The cow started to run at once, but she couldn’t catch him. Next, the Gingerbread Boy ran past a pig. He called out to a pig: “I’ve run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a field full of farmers, a cow, and I can run away from you”.
The pig ran after him, but he couldn’t catch him.
Then the Gingerbread Boy ran past a hungry fox. He called out to the fox: “I’ve run away from a little old woman, a little old man, a field full of farmers, a cow, a pig, and I can run away from you”.
The fox began to run after the Gingerbread Boy. Foxes can run very fast. Before long, the fox caught the Gingerbread Boy and began to eat him.
