''They would have been a very happy old couple but for one thing -- they had no little child, and they wished for one very much. One day, when the little old woman was baking gingerbread, she cut a cake in the shape of a little boy, and put it into the oven. Presently she went to the oven to see if it was baked. As soon as the oven door was opened, the little gingerbread boy jumped out, and began to run away as fast as he could go...''

He ran till he came across a fox, and to him he called out: 

I've run away from a little old woman,  A little old man,  A barn full of threshers,  A field full of mowers,  A cow and a pig,  ''And I can run away from you, I can! ''

''Then the fox set out to run. Now foxes can run very fast, and so the fox soon caught the gingerbread boy and began to eat him up. Presently the gingerbread boy said, "Oh dear! I'm quarter gone!" And then, "Oh, I'm half gone!" And soon, "I'm three-quarters gone!" And at last, "I'm all gone!" and never spoke again.''

Thank you for the gingerbread man collection...it was sooo yummy and it never said a word! 😉
