The End

2
00:00:24.500 --> 00:00:27.940
Once upon a time, there was a little old woman,

3
00:00:27.940 --> 00:00:33.520
and a little old man, and they lived in a little old cottage by a roadside.

4
00:00:34.380 --> 00:00:38.400
Each day they tended their garden and worked in their house,

5
00:00:38.620 --> 00:00:42.800
and each evening they sat down together for a delicious supper.

6
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:46.880
Then one morning the little old woman had an idea.

7
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:50.920
I'd like to make a special dessert for our supper tonight.

8
00:00:51.260 --> 00:00:53.900
I'll bake a tasty gingerbread man.

9
00:00:54.460 --> 00:00:56.200
And so she set to work.

10
00:00:57.620 --> 00:01:02.740
First she rolled the dough out flat and cut it into the shape of a funny little man.

11
00:01:03.460 --> 00:01:06.080
She put a nice little jacket of chocolate on him,

12
00:01:06.460 --> 00:01:08.900
and a row of cherries down the front for buttons.

13
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.280
Then she made eyes of fat raisins, a mouth and cap of pink sugar frosting,

14
00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:20.440
and used a bright red candy for his nose and for the top of his little cap.

15
00:01:21.240 --> 00:01:23.460
At last, very pleased with herself,

16
00:01:23.460 --> 00:01:26.240
she slid the gingerbread man into the oven.

17
00:01:28.080 --> 00:01:30.700
When it was time for the gingerbread man to be done,

18
00:01:31.260 --> 00:01:35.320
the little old woman and the little old man opened the oven door,

19
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:40.380
and there they found the gingerbread man looking all brown and good to eat.

20
00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.300
But just as they reached in and pulled out the pan,

21
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.840
up popped the gingerbread man, and away he ran.

22
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:49.300
Out the door!

23
00:01:49.740 --> 00:01:52.960
The little old woman and the little old man called after him.

24
00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:55.460
Come back, come back, we want to eat you!

25
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:03.140
But as the little old woman and the little old man ran after him down the road

26
00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:05.360
and over the hill as fast as they could,

27
00:02:05.800 --> 00:02:08.580
the gingerbread man just laughed and shouted.

28
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.520
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

29
00:02:20.480 --> 00:02:23.680
And they couldn't catch him.

30
00:02:25.100 --> 00:02:30.080
So the gingerbread man ran on until he saw a cow grazing by the roadside.

31
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:33.460
Moo! Sniffed the cow.

32
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.780
Stop, little gingerbread man, I want to eat you!

33
00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:42.460
But the little gingerbread man just laughed and said,

34
00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:44.500
I run away from you!

35
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:44.500


36
00:02:44.500 --> 00:02:47.420
I run away from the little old woman and I run away from the little old man.

37
00:02:47.600 --> 00:02:49.680
And I can run away from you, I can!

38
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.720
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

39
00:03:10.580 --> 00:03:12.540
And the cow couldn't catch him.

40
00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:19.180
And he ran on and on and on until he came to a horse in the pasture.

41
00:03:20.780 --> 00:03:24.900
Whoa! Please stop, little gingerbread man, said the horse.

42
00:03:25.340 --> 00:03:27.280
You look very good to eat!

43
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.820
But the little gingerbread man laughed out loud.

44
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.580
Oh ho, oh ho, he said.

45
00:03:33.980 --> 00:03:37.400
I have run away from the little old woman and I have run away from the little old man.

46
00:03:37.600 --> 00:03:40.880
I've run away from a cow and I can run away from you, I can!

47
00:03:41.440 --> 00:03:44.300
And as he ran away from the horse, he cried.

48
00:03:45.220 --> 00:03:48.400
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

49
00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:57.060
And the horse couldn't catch him.

50
00:03:57.820 --> 00:04:03.140
By and by, the little gingerbread man came upon a pig sitting in the mud.

51
00:04:04.980 --> 00:04:10.220
Oh, please stop, little gingerbread man. You look very good to eat, said the pig.

52
00:04:10.880 --> 00:04:12.820
But the gingerbread man called out.

53
00:04:13.140 --> 00:04:16.480
I have run away from the little old woman and I have run away from the little old man.

54
00:04:16.700 --> 00:04:20.340
A cow, a horse, and I can run away from you, I can!

55
00:04:26.760 --> 00:04:32.080
And away he ran as fast as his little gingerbread legs could carry him.

56
00:04:32.380 --> 00:04:34.700
And as he ran, he shouted back.

57
00:04:35.520 --> 00:04:39.320
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

58
00:04:45.540 --> 00:04:48.160
And the pig couldn't catch him.

59
00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:52.200
By now, the little gingerbread man had come to the village.

60
00:04:52.900 --> 00:04:56.560
It was there that the shopkeeper saw him and called out.

61
00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:02.780
Wait! Stop there, little gingerbread man. I want to eat you!

62
00:05:03.420 --> 00:05:06.560
But the little gingerbread man just laughed and called.

63
00:05:07.160 --> 00:05:10.620
I have run away from the little old woman. I have run away from the little old man.

64
00:05:10.620 --> 00:05:15.160
A cow, a horse, a pig, and I can run away from you, I can!

65
00:05:21.380 --> 00:05:25.520
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

66
00:05:31.440 --> 00:05:34.080
And the shopkeeper couldn't catch him.

67
00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:38.740
At the very edge of the town, he came upon the baker.

68
00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:45.960
Wait there, little gingerbread man. You will taste you than any gingerbread man I've ever made.

69
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:47.660
I want to eat you!

70
00:05:49.940 --> 00:05:52.760
But the gingerbread man quickly ran off.

71
00:05:54.540 --> 00:05:59.160
I have run away from the little old woman. I have run away from the little old man.

72
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:14.500
A cow, a horse, a pig, a shopkeeper, and I can run away from you, I can!

73
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.560
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

74
00:06:21.220 --> 00:06:23.480
And the baker couldn't catch him.

75
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:24.700
Ha!

76
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:33.980
By this time, the little gingerbread man felt so proud that he didn't think anybody could ever catch him.

77
00:06:39.420 --> 00:06:42.280
Soon the gingerbread man came to the edge of the river.

78
00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:47.160
He dared not jump into the water, for he knew he would melt away.

79
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:56.220
Still, the little old woman, the little old man, the cow, the horse, the pig, the shopkeeper, and the baker were chasing him.

80
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.580
I have to get across the river, he cried.

81
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.800
Just then, he saw a fox sitting on the river bank sunning himself.

82
00:07:07.900 --> 00:07:11.060
Hello, gingerbread man, said the fox.

83
00:07:11.800 --> 00:07:13.540
The little gingerbread man was startled.

84
00:07:13.540 --> 00:07:17.680
Run, run, as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!

85
00:07:18.460 --> 00:07:24.660
I wouldn't dream of trying to catch you, said the fox. I'm sure you could outrun me.

86
00:07:25.120 --> 00:07:28.360
But if you like, I'll help you to escape the others.

87
00:07:28.980 --> 00:07:32.480
Jump on my tail, and I will take you across the river.

88
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:38.760
So the little gingerbread man jumped on the fox's tail.

89
00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:42.280
And the fox swam out into the water.

90
00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:47.440
When he was a little way from the shore, he turned his head and said,

91
00:07:48.220 --> 00:07:53.160
You are too heavy on my tail, little gingerbread man. I fear you'll get wet.

92
00:07:53.680 --> 00:07:55.160
Jump on my back.

93
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:03.620
So the little gingerbread man jumped on the fox's back.

94
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:07.560
A moment later, the fox said,

95
00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.900
I'm afraid the water may cover you there.

96
00:08:11.280 --> 00:08:12.740
Jump on my shoulder.

97
00:08:15.040 --> 00:08:18.360
So the little gingerbread man jumped on the fox's shoulder.

98
00:08:20.820 --> 00:08:25.500
When they were near the other side of the river, the fox cried out suddenly,

99
00:08:26.380 --> 00:08:31.260
Oh dear, little gingerbread man, my shoulder is about to sink.

100
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:35.520
Jump on my nose, so I can hold you out of the water.

101
00:08:35.520 --> 00:08:40.040
Quickly the little gingerbread man jumped on the fox's nose.

102
00:08:40.380 --> 00:08:44.000
Then that sly old fox sprang ashore,

103
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:46.860
threw back his head and snapped.

104
00:08:48.700 --> 00:08:54.120
And at last and at last, that little gingerbread man was eaten,

105
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:58.640
just like every little gingerbread man ever to come out of an oven.

106
00:10:05.520 --> 00:10:07.960
The End
