Once upon a time, an old woman decided to bake a gingerbread man. She mixed the dough, rolled it out, and cut out the shape of a man. She decorated him with icing, raisins for eyes, and a cherry for a mouth. She put him in the oven to bake. To her surprise, as soon as she opened the oven, the gingerbread man jumped out and ran away.
The old woman and her husband chased him, shouting, "Stop! Stop!" But the gingerbread man just laughed and said, "Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!"
He ran through the fields and encountered a cow. The cow wanted to eat him, but the gingerbread man ran faster, taunting, "I've run away from an old woman and an old man, and I can run away from you too!"
Next, he met a horse, who also wanted to eat him. Again, the gingerbread man outran the horse, repeating his chant. Finally, he reached a riverbank and met a sly fox. The fox offered to help him cross the river. Trusting the fox, the gingerbread man climbed onto his back.
Halfway across, the fox tossed the gingerbread man into the air and gobbled him up. And that was the end of the gingerbread man's adventures.
