The old woman and the old man followed him as he ran through the fields. There he met a fox, so he said to the fox: “Run, run, as fast as you can, You can’t catch me, I’m the gingerbread man!” The gingerbread man had to stop because he came to a river. The fox saw the old woman and the old man following the gingerbread man and the fox said, “Jump on my back. I’ll take you across the river!” The gingerbread man jumped on the fox’s back and the fox began to swim. As they reached the middle of the river, the fox said, “Can you move on to my nose, Gingerbread Man, so that I can carry you more safely? I would not like you to drown.” The gingerbread man moved on to the fox’s nose. Suddenly, the gingerbread man disappeared into the fox’s mouth, and was never seen again.
