The Gingerbread Man

Once upon a time, a little old woman and a little old man lived ona a farm. The little old woman decided to make a boy out of gingerbread. And a gingerbread man jumped out and ran away. Gingerbread escaped from various persons. THen the gingerbread man came to a river. And "I'll take you across," said the fox. But Gingerbread was eaten by fox.I thought that gingerbread was a cute, because little old woman gave him eyes and a mouth and buttons. I thought that I want to see the gingerbread. And I thought that the story is interesting, because gingerbread was alive. Gingerbread was not alive from the first. But I thought it may be dream inspiring. But I was sad because gingerbread was eaten by fox. I wanted him for everyone to live. I want to read the story.
