hello in my english class listen a history of gingerbread man
Once upon a time, there were a little old woman
and a little old man
who lived in a little cottage
near the river
. The little old woman
and the little old man
were hungry, so the little old woman
decided to bake a gingerbread man
.
She made a big batch of gingerbread dough, then rolled it flat and cut it in the shape of a gingerbread man
. She gave him raisins for eyes
, a cinnamon drop for a mouth
, and chocolate chips for buttons
. Then she put the gingerbread man
in the oven
to bake.
When the gingerbread man
was done, the little old woman
opened the oven
door, but before she could take him out, the gingerbread man
jumped up and ran through the kitchen
and out of the cottage
shouting, "Don't eat me!"
The little old woman
ran after the gingerbread man
. "Stop," she yelled. But the gingerbread man
ran even faster, chanting, "Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
."
The gingerbread man
ran into the garden
and passed the little old man
. "Stop," the little old man
called out, "I want to eat you." But the gingerbread man
ran even faster, chanting, "I've run away from a little old woman
, and I can run away from you, I can. Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
."
The little old man
chased the gingerbread man
, followed by the little old woman
. But the gingerbread man
ran too fast for them.
The gingerbread man
ran through the yard
and passed a pig
. "Stop," the pig
snorted, "I want to eat you." But the gingerbread man
ran even faster, chanting, "I've run from a little old woman
and a little old man
, and I can run away from you, I can. Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
."
The pig
chased the gingerbread man
, followed by the little old woman
and the little old man
. But the gingerbread man
ran too fast for them.
The gingerbread man
passed a cow
by the barn
. "Stop," the cow
mooed, "I want to eat you." But the gingerbread man
ran even faster, chanting, "I've run from a little old woman
and a little old man
and a pig
, and I can run away from you, I can. Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
."
The cow
chased the gingerbread man
, followed by the pig
and the little old woman
and the little old man
. But the gingerbread man
ran too fast for them.
The gingerbread man
passed a horse
in the field. "Stop," the horse
neighed, "I want to eat you." But the gingerbread man
ran even faster, chanting, "I've run from a little old woman
and a little old man
and a pig
and a cow
, and I can run away from you, I can. Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
."
The horse
chased the gingerbread man
, followed by the cow
, the pig
, and the little old woman
and the little old man
. But the gingerbread man
ran too fast for them.
Then the gingerbread man
reached a wide river
, but he didn't know how to swim. A sly and hungry fox
saw the gingerbread man
and said, "Jump on my tail, and I'll take you across the river
!"
The gingerbread man
thought to himself, "I'll be safe on his tail." So he jumped on the fox's
tail and they started across the river
.
Halfway across the river
, the fox
barked, "You're too heavy for my tail, jump on my back." So the gingerbread man
jumped on the fox's
back.
Soon, the fox
said, You're too heavy for my back, jump onto my nose." So the gingerbread man
jumped on the fox's
nose. But as soon as they reached the riverbank, the fox
flipped the gingerbread man
into the air, snapped his mouth shut, and ate the gingerbread man
.
And that was the end of the gingerbread man
.
