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. 

he 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  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.
