ONE day, the cook went into

the kitchen to make some
gingerbread. She took some flour
and water, and treacle and ginger,
and mixed them all well together,
and she put in some more water
to make it thin, and then some
more flour to make it thick, and a
little salt and some spice, and
then she rolled it out into a
beautiful, smooth, dark-yellow
dough.

Then she took the square tins

and cut out some square cakes
for the little boys, and with some
round tins she cut out some
round cakes for the little girls,
and then she said, “I’m going to
make a little gingerbread man for
little Bobby.” So she took a nice
round lump of dough for his body,
and a smaller lump for his head,
which she pulled out a little for
the neck. Two other lumps were
stuck on beneath for the legs,
and were pulled out into proper
shape, with feet and toes all
complete, and two still smaller
pieces were made into arms,
with dear little hands and
fingers.

But the nicest work was done on the head, for the top was frizzed up
into a pretty sugary hat; on either side was made a dear little ear, and in
front, after the nose had been carefully moulded, a beautiful mouth was
made out of a big raisin, and two bright little eyes with burnt almonds
and caraway seeds. Then the gingerbread man was finished ready for
baking, and a very jolly little man he was. In fact, he looked so sly that
the cook was afraid he was plotting some mischief, and when the batter
was ready for the oven, she put in the square cakes and she put in the
round cakes; and then she put in the little gingerbread man in a far back
corner, where he couldn’t get away in a hurry.

"RU
N, RUN, FAST AS YOU CAN. YOU
CAN'T CATCH ME, I'M THE
GINGERBREAD MAN!"

The old cook turned round as

fast as she could, which wasn’t
very fast, for she was rather a
heavy woman and she had been
quite taken by surprise, and she
saw lying right across the door-
way, fast asleep in the sun, old
Mouser, the cat.

“Mouser, Mouser,” she cried, “stop the gingerbread man! I want him
for little Bobby.” When the cook first called, Mouser thought it was only
someone calling in her dreams, and simply rolled over lazily; and the
cook called again, “Mouser, Mouser!” The old cat sprang up with a jump,
but just as she turned round to ask the cook what all the noise was
about, the little gingerbread man cleverly jumped under her tail, and in an
instant was trotting down the garden walk. Mouser turned in a hurry and
ran after, although she was still rather too sleepy to know what it was
she was trying to catch, and after the cat came the cook, lumbering
along rather heavily, but also making pretty good speed. Now at the
bottom of the walk, lying fast asleep in the sun against the warm stones
of the garden wall, was Towser, the dog.

And the cook called out: “Towser, Towser, stop the gingerbread
man! I want him for little Bobby.”

He thought at once that the cat must have

stolen something, and that it was the cat the cook
wanted him to stop. Now, if there was anything that
Towser liked, it was going after the cat, and he
jumped up the walk so fiercely that the poor cat did
not have time to stop herself or to get

out of his way, and they came together with a great fizzing, and
barking, and meowing, and howling, and scratching, and biting, as
if a couple of Catherine-wheels had gone off in the wrong way and
had got mixed up with one another. But the old cook had been
running so hard that she was not able to stop herself any better
than the cat had done, and she fell right on top of the mixed-up
dog and cat, so that all three rolled over on the walk in a heap
together.

And the cat scratched whichever came

nearest, whether it was a piece of the
dog or of the cook, and the dog bit at
whatever came nearest, whether it
was a piece of the cat or of the cook,
so that the poor cook was badly
pummelled on both sides.

Meanwhile, the gingerbread man had climbed up on the garden wall,

and stood on the top with his hands in his pockets, looking at the
scrimmage, and laughing till the tears ran down from his little caraway-
seed eyes and his raisin mouth was bubbling all over with fun.

"RUN, RUN, FAST AS YOU CAN. YOU CAN'T CATCH ME, I'M
THE GINGERBREAD MAN!"

After a little while, the cat managed to pull herself out from under the
cook and the dog, and a very cast-down and crumpled-up-looking cat she
was. She had had enough of hunting gingerbread men, and she crept
back to the kitchen to repair damages.

The dog, who was very cross because his face had been badly
scratched, let go of the cook, and at last, catching sight of the
gingerbread man, made a bolt for the garden wall. The cook
 picked herself up, and although her face was also badly
scratched and her dress was torn, she was determined to see the
end of the chase, and she followed after the dog, though this time
more slowly.

When the gingerbread man saw the dog coming, he jumped down on
the farther side of the wall, and began running across the field. Now in
the middle of the field was a tree, and at the foot of the tree was lying
Jocko, the monkey. He wasn’t asleep—monkeys never are—and when he
saw the little man running across the field and heard the cook calling,
“Jocko, Jocko, stop the gingerbreadman,” he at once gave one big jump.
But he jumped so fast and so far that he went right over the gingerbread
man, and as luck would have it, he came down on the back of Towser,
the dog, who had just scrambled over the wall, and whom he had not
before noticed. Towser was naturally taken by surprise, but he turned his
head around and promptly bit off the end of the monkey’s tail, and Jocko
quickly jumped off again, chattering his indignation. Meanwhile, the
gingerbread man had got to the bottom of the tree, and was saying to
himself: “Now, I know the dog can’t climb a tree, and I don’t believe the
old cook can climb a tree; and as for the monkey I’m not sure, for I’ve
never seen a monkey before, but I am going up.”
 So, he pulled himself up hand over hand until he had got to the
topmost branch.

"CLIMB, CLIMB, FAST AS YOU CAN. YOU CAN'T CATCH ME, I'M
THE GINGERBREAD MAN!"

But the monkey had jumped with one spring onto the lowest
branch, and in an instant he also was at the top of the tree.

The gingerbread man crawled out to the furthermost end of the

branch, and hung by one hand, but the monkey swung himself under the
branch, and stretching out his long arm, he pulled the gingerbread man
in. Then he held him up and looked at him so hungrily that the little
raisin mouth began to pucker down at the corners, and the caraway-
seed eyes filled with tears.

And then what do you think happened? Why, little Bobby himself
came running up. He had been taking his noon-day nap upstairs, and in
his dreams it seemed as if he kept hearing people call “Little Bobby, little
Bobby!” until finally he jumped up with a start, and was so sure that some
one was calling him that he ran down-stairs, without even waiting to put
on his shoes.

“Drop it, Jocko!” cried Bobby, and drop it

Jocko did, for he always had to mind
Bobby. He dropped it so straight that the
gingerbread man fell right into Bobby’s
uplifted pinafore.
Then Bobby held him up and looked at him, and the little raisin mouth
puckered down lower than ever, and the tears ran right out of the
caraway-seed eyes.

But Bobby was too hungry to mind gingerbread tears, and he gave one
big bite, and swallowed down both legs and a piece of the body.

“OH!” Bobby gave a second bite, and swallowed the rest of the body
and the arms.
“OH!” said the gingerbread man, “I’M TWO-THIRDS GONE!” Bobby gave
a third bite, and gulped down the head. “OH!” said the gingerbread man,
“I’M ALL GONE!” And so

he was—and that is the end of the story.

II. Inferential Questions

1. The main problem of the Gingerbread Man is that he is being chased by various characters who want to
catch and eat him.

2. The Baker wants to catch the Gingerbread Man for Bobby because Bobby wants to eat the Gingerbread
Man as a treat or snack.

3. The central message of The Gingerbread Man is to be cautious and wary of trusting strangers, as they may
have ulterior motives or pose potential dangers.

4. The solution in The Gingerbread Man story is that the Gingerbread Man is eventually caught and eaten by
one of the characters, usually the fox or the boy.

5. If I were the Baker, to capture the Gingerbread Man, I would try to outsmart him by setting up traps or
creating a situation where he would be confined or slowed down. For example, I might strategically place
obstacles or use enticing bait to lure him into a confined space where I can easily catch him. However, it's
important to note that the story emphasizes the Gingerbread Man's ability to outwit his pursuers, so
capturing him may prove to be quite challenging.
 Let’s Go!
1. If you are Bobby, you would feel a mix of excitement, curiosity, and perhaps a bit of disappointment. The
idea of a gingerbread man coming to life and running away would be thrilling, but you might also be curious
about his adventures. There might be a tinge of disappointment that you couldn't catch him yourself.

2. The animals want to eat the gingerbread man because he is made of delicious gingerbread dough. Their
natural instincts and appetites drive them to see him as a tempting treat.

3. The characters in the Gingerbread Man story interact with each other driven by their own desires. They do
not show respect or treat each other fairly. Their actions prioritize their own goals over fairness or respect for
one another.

4. The Gingerbread Man story portrays the concept of power and authority through shifting dynamics. The
characters exert their authority as predators, attempting to capture and consume the Gingerbread Man.
Fairness and justice are absent in their actions, as they prioritize their own desires over the well-being of
others.

5. The Gingerbread Man story reflects the theme of trust and the consequence of misplaced trust. The
Gingerbread Man's misplaced trust in characters who have harmful intentions leads to his capture and
consumption. The story serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the risks and consequences of placing trust
without careful consideration.
