SCRIPT:

NARRATOR: Once upon a time there was an old woman and an old man who lived in an old house. But they were not happy because they didn`t have any children. One day the woman decided to make a boy out of gingerbread.

OLD WOMAN: I’m going to make a Gingerbread Boy.

OLD MAN: Good idea!. I love gingerbread!.

NARRATOR: Then the old woman put the gingerbread boy into the oven. After a few minutes, she said.

OLD WOMAN: The Gingerbread Boy is done.

NARRATOR: But as soon as she opened the oven`s door, the Gingerbread Boy jumped, and went straight out the door and down the street.

OLD WOMAN: Come on!. Let`s go after him!.

OLD MAN: He can`t escape from us!.

GINGERBREAD BOY:  Run, run as fast as you can!.  You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

NARRATOR: The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on until he saw a cow.

COW: Stop, Gingerbread Boy!.  I want to eat you!.

GINGERBREAD BOY: I’ve run away from the old woman and an old man and I can away from you, too!.  Run, run, as fast as you can!. You can’t catch me!.  I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

NARRATOR: And the cow couldn’t catch him. The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on until he saw a horse.

HORSE: You look good enough to eat.

GINGERBREAD BOY: I’ve run away from an old woman, an old man, and a cow, and I can away from you, too!.  Run, run, as fast as you can!.  You can’t catch me!. I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

NARRATOR: And the horse couldn’t catch him. And the Gingerbread Boy ran and ran until he saw a pig.

PIG: Come back little man. You look tasty!.

GINGERBREAD BOY: I’ve run away from an old woman, an old man, a cow, and a horse, and I can away from you, too!.  Run, run, as fast as you can!.  You can’t catch me !.  I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

NARRATOR: And the pig couldn’t keep up with the Gingerbread Boy.  So the Gingerbread Boy ran until he came to a dog.

DOG: Ruff Ruff!.  I love cookies!. Come back so I can eat you!.

GINGERBREAD BOY: I’ve run away from an old woman, an old man, a cow, a horse, and a pig, and I can away from you, too, I can!.  Run, run, as fast as you can!.  You can’t catch me!. I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

NARRATOR: The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on until he saw a fox. By this time, the Gingerbread Boy was sure that nobody could catch him.

GINGERBREAD BOY: I’ve run away from an old woman, an old man, and a cow, and a horse, and I can run away from you, too! Run, run, as fast as you can! You can’t catch me!. I’m the Gingerbread Boy!.

FOX: Why do you think I can`t?.

GINGERBREAD BOY: Oh no… a river!.

FOX: Jump on my tail and I will take you across.

NARRATOR: The Gingerbread boy jumped on the fox’s tail. The fox swam into the river.

FOX: Gingerbread boy you better get on my back or you’ll get wet.

NARRATOR: The fox swam deeper.

FOX: My back is tired, Gingerbread boy, you better get on my nose.

NARRATOR: But as soon as the fox reached the shore, the fox threw back his head and gobbled him up!.

FOX: Mmm, tasty!.
