The Gingerbread Man

by Kilmeny Niland

When the freshly-baked gingerbread boy escapes from the oven, a chase begins. An old woman, the farmer, a pig, a goat, a cow and a horse all chase after him but cannot catch him. Finally, the gingerbread boy stops at the river. He cannot swim across. Then a fox stops to offer him a lift.
