Christmas Story- Gingerbread Man

Let’s watch a video!

Once upon a time, an old man and an old woman were in their kitchen. They were very hungry. They wanted to have some gingerbread for snacks.   Quickly, they found everything they needed to make some gingerbread. Then the woman cut out a big gingerbread man. “He can have raisins for his eyes and a cherry for his nose,” she said, “And some orange rind for his mouth.”

  Before long, the gingerbread was ready to eat. But as soon as the old woman opened the oven door, the gingerbread man jumped out and ran away. The old man and the old woman could not catch him. They ran after him. And then, he ran past a pig, a cow and a horse. They wanted to catch him and eat him, but they could not. So they ran and ran. The gingerbread man kept running. Soon he had left the town. “Run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me. I am the gingerbread man.”

After a while, the Gingerbread Man came to the river. He could not swim.   Suddenly, a clever fox came by and wanted to eat him up. He asked the Gingerbread Man to climb on his head so that he could take him across the river. The Gingerbread Man agreed. As soon as they reached the other side, the fox tossed up the Gingerbread Man in the air. He opened his mouth and ate him up.
