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 . 

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 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 ."
