The
Gingerbread Lady story
Once upon a time, a little old woman and a little
old man lived by themselves in an old farmhouse. One day, the little
old woman decided to make a special treat. "I
will make a gingerbread lady," she said. So the little old
woman made a gingerbread lady & put her in the oven to bake.
But before long, she heard a tiny voice calling, “let
me out! Let me out!”. The little old woman went to the
oven to listen, opened the oven door & the gingerbread lady jumped
right out! She skipped across the kitchen & ran straight outside.
The little gingerbread lady was on her way down the road before the
little old woman & the little old man were out of the house. They
couldn’t run nearly as fast as she could. “Stop!
you need some clothes. Stop, little gingerbread lady!” they
cried, quite out of breath. But the gingerbread lady just sang, "run,
run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I'm the gingerbread
lady”.
Soon she met a cow. “Stop,
little lady!” mooed the cow, “You
look very good to eat!”
But the gingerbread lady just ran faster. And she
sang, “run, run, as fast as you can, you
can’t catch me, I'm the gingerbread lady!”. The cow
ran and ran, but she could not catch the little gingerbread lady. |

Farther down the road, the gingerbread lady met a
horse. “Stop, little lady!” he
said, “You look very good to eat & I'm
hungry!” But the gingerbread lady just ran faster. The horse
galloped & galloped as fast as he could, but he wasn't fast enough
to catch the gingerbread lady.
“I have run away from
a little old woman, a little old man and a cow,” cried
the gingerbread lady. And she sang as she ran, “run,
run, as fast as you can, you can’t catch me, I'm the gingerbread
lady!”
The little gingerbread lady ran on & on, going
faster & faster. She was very proud of her running & quite pleased
with herself.
Then to her surprise she met the gingerbread man “Stop!
Stop little man,” said the naked little gingerbread lady,
grinning & licking her lips. “I want
to talk to you.” But the gingerbread man didn't stop to
listen. He just sang, “run, run, as fast
as you can, you can’t catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!” But
she sang as she ran, “oh yes I can baby,
I’m the gingerbread lady!”
