Story
Time!
The
Gingerbread
Man
Once upon a time, there was a lady who lived in
a little white cottage in the countryside.
This lady really
liked to bake cookies.
Today I'll bake something
extra nice!
Something with flour, sugar, and spice!
So she got out her red mixing bowl
and her big wooden spoon and…
Oh, can I stir?
Reggie, it's just a story.
Oh, sorry,
Zach.
I forgot.
She mixed up the dough until
it was just right.
Then she rolled it out with
a rolling pin.
This dough is so flat,
and it's soft like butter.
I think it's time for my cookie cutter.
She cut out a perfect
gingerbread man shape,
Then baked it in the oven the house was filled
with the delicious aroma of gingerbread
In a few minutes the cookie was done,
let's get you dressed
She gave the cookie candy eyes chocolate
buttons and a bowtie made of icing
Look at the cookie. I've
got on my pan.
What shall I call him gingerbread man?
Gingerbread
Man, you're good enough to eat.
I'll work my way up,
starting with your feet.
All of a sudden, the
Gingerbread
Man jumped off the pan.
And before the lady knew it, he had
run right out of the cottage.
The lady ran after him, shaking her spoon.
Where are you going?
Come right back.
Turn around, cookie.
I want a snack.
Run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man!
Run, run, as fast as you can!
You can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man!
The
Gingerbread
Man thought he was safe,
so he slowed down.
Soon, he came upon a mustached man,
doing some stretches.
He should have done a shake break.
True.
Oh, hello there.
Who are you?
My, oh my,
you look good enough to chew!
The
Gingerbread
Man started running again!
Where ya going?
Come right back!
Turn around cookie, I want a snack!
Run, run as fast as you can!
You can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man!
Run, run as fast as you can!
You can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man!
This time the
Gingerbread
Man passed a lady in a bonnet
who was picking flowers!
Uh -oh!
Good day, sir.
Welcome to my land.
May I shake your hand?
Or maybe I could chew your hand.
Is that icing?
The
Gingerbread
Man started running again.
Where are you going?
Come right back.
Turn around, cookie, I want a snack!
Run, run as fast as you can.
You can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man.
Run, run, as fast as you can,
you can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man!
Next, the
Gingerbread
Man passed by a monk,
who was just about to eat a big piece of broccoli.
Suddenly I don't like the look of my lunch,
I smell something sweet and warm to munch.
The
Gingerbread
Man started running again.
Where you going?
Come right back, turn around cookie,
I want a snack!
Run, run as fast as you can,
you can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man.
Run, run as fast as you can,
you can't catch me, I'm the
Gingerbread
Man.
The
Gingerbread
Man came to a stream, but
Gingerbread
Man can't swim.
Do you know why,
Reggie?
Because he isn't
wearing a bathing suit?
No, because he'll get all
soggy and fall apart.
Nobody likes a mushy cookie.
Luckily for him,
a fox was swimming in the water.
Hop on my back. I'll take
you across the stream.
You can trust me.
The gingerbread man was so eager to
get away from the baker,
the mustache man, the lady in the bonnet,
and the monk,
that he hopped on the fox's
back without thinking.
The fox started swimming.
It's getting deeper.
Hop onto my neck.
It's getting even deeper,
hop on to my head
It's getting really deep,
hop on to my nose
The gingerbread man saw that they were
almost at the other side of the stream.
He imagined getting to the other side and
making fun of the people who had tried to
chase him, so he hopped on to
the fox's nose.
All of the sudden,
the fox flipped him up into the air.
And when he came down,
the fox opened his mouth wide and…
Oh no!
He gobbled him up in one bite!
The
End.
