BR 2-16: The Gingerbread Man

A little old woman and a little old man lived on a farm. They are happy most of the time. But they don’t have children. This thing is only unhappy. So the little old woman decided to make a boy out of gingerbread. Soon she could smell hot gingerbread. She opens the oven door and looked in. Suddenly a gingerbread man jumped out and ran away. The gingerbread man ran past a lot of places and ran on down the road, singing. But he came to a river. He wanted to cross it but he couldn’t swim. Then a fox came there and a fox said “I will take you across.” The gingerbread man jumped on a fox’s tail. The fox started swimming but his tail was in the water. So, the gingerbread man climbed up the fox, and climbed up the fox’s nose. At that time, the fox ate a gingerbread man.

The fox is sharp. The gingerbread man didn’t have a luck.
