Transcription:
Once upon a time, there was a little old woman.
One day she baked a Gingerbread man.
Unfortunately, as soon as he was ready he jumped out of the oven and ran out of the door shouting:

Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!
Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

First he passed a pig with a smile on his face,
He wanted to eat gingerbread and so joined the chase,
The gingerbread man laughed,
And so the pig cried:
"Don't run too fast or you'll end up
In my insides."

Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!
Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

Next he passed a cow with a smile on her face,
She wanted to eat gingerbread and so joined the chase,
The gingerbread man laughed,
And so the cow cried:
"Don't run too fast or you'll end up
In my insides."

Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!
Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

Then he passed a horse with a smile on his face,
He wanted to eat gingerbread and so joined the chase,
The gingerbread man laughed,
And so the horse cried:
"Don't run too fast or you'll end up
In my insides."
Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!
Run! Run! As fast as you can,
You can't catch me I'm the Gingerbread man!

Suddenly the Gingerbread man came to a river.
"Oh no! How will I get across?" he cried.
A fox appeared.
"I will help you cross the river, jump on my tail."

So the Gingerbread man jumped onto the fox's tail and they began to swim across the river. Soon after, the water began to rise up and the Gingerbread man cried "Oh no! I'm going to get wet!"

"Jump on my back!" replied the fox.
So the Gingerbread man jumped onto the fox's back, but soon after the water began to rise up and the Gingerbread man cried "Oh no! I'm going to get wet!"

"Jump on my nose," replied the fox.
So the Gingerbread man jumped on the fox's nose. No sooner had he done so than the fox flicked him high into the air and swallowed him in one big gulp. And that was the end of the Gingerbread man.
