there's a good choice emma
the gingerbread man by pat hatchman it's
okay
once there was an old man and an old
woman who had no
children so they baked a gingerbread man
[Music]
when they took him out of the oven they
were happy
but then he jumped out of the pan and
ran away
the old man and the old woman ran after
him
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 and they
couldn't catch him
the gingerbread man ran and ran he ran
past a cow
standing on a patch of grass the cow
said
mmm ooh a gingerbread man
i'm going to eat you 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
and the cow couldn't catch him the
gingerbread man ran and ran
he ran past a ram in a carrot patch
the ram said a gingerbread man
i'm going to eat you 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 and the ram
couldn't catch him
just then a fox walked by and said
a gingerbread man i think i'll eat him
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
maybe i can't said the fox but if you
try to cross that
river you will surely get wet and
crumbled to pieces
hop on my tail and i'll carry you across
so the gingerbread man did just that
the frog started to swim as he did
his tail dipped into the water and he
said
my tail is getting wet you'd better
climb onto my back
so the gingerbread man did just that
the fox swam on but soon he said
my back is getting wet you'd better
climb onto my
nose so the gingerbread man did just
that
[Music]
man looked back and saw the old man the
old woman the cow
and the ram standing at the back of the
river he
laughed and said run
run as fast as you can you can't catch
me
and that was the end of the gingerbread
man

um well i'm not sure about the ending
well what do you mean oh well i saw the
cute happy little gingerbread man going
into the fox's mouth
uh are they saying the fox ate him
chewed him up
and swallowed him old uh that's right
honey

message without showing the actual
chewing and swallowing the message
