The Gingerbread Man
A childess woman bakes herself a gingerbread boy but when she opens the oven he escapes out of the house and down the street. The old woman runs after him as he cries, ‘Run, run as fast as you can, you’ll never catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man’. Several animals join the chase as the Gingerbread man looks good enough to eat, but none can catch him. Soon the Gingerbread Man comes to river which he cannot cross alone. A sly old fox offers to take him across and the Gingerbread Man climbs onto his tail, but as they cross the river the fox persuades him to jump onto his nose to avoid getting wet. Then the fox eats the Gingerbread Man all up. Yum!
The Three Little Pigs
Three little pigs grow up and the time comes for them to leave home and make their own way in the world. The first little pig builds himself a house of straw. The second little pig builds himself a house of sticks. The third little pig builds himself a house of bricks. One day a wolf comes along and blows down the house of straw. The first little pig escapes to his brother’s house of sticks and hides with him, but the wolf follows and blows down the house of sticks too. The two brothers then seek sanctuary at the third brother’s house of bricks, thinking that the wolf cannot blow down such a solid structure. This is true, but the wolf then climbs down the chimney. However, the third little pig – being a sensible sort – makes sure that there is a big cooking pot on the fire to catch the wolf and the three pigs have a yummy wolf flavoured dinner.
