Teacher: Good morning boys and girls.

Students: Good morning Ms. Collins. We are going to have a good day today. 

Teacher: I know that you are. The book that we're going to read this morning is entitled The Gingerbread Boy. Can everyone say that?

Students: The gingerbread boy.

Teacher: Very good. ''Once upon a time, there lived a little old woman, and a little old man. They had no boys or girls of their own, so they lived all by themselves in a little old house. One day, the little old woman was baking gingerbread. 'I will make a little gingerbread boy', she said. So she rolled the dough out flat, and cut it in the shape of a little boy. She made him two good-sized feet. Then she gave him eyes, and a mouth of raisins and currents, and stuck on a cinnamon drop for a nose. She put a row of raisins down the front of his jacket for buttons. 'There', she said, 'Now we have a little gingerbread boy of our own.' She put him in the pan, popped him into the oven, and closed the door... The little gingerbread boy looked back.'' And what did he say boys and girls?

Teacher and Students: Run run run, as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man

Teacher:  Very good ''When they were near the other side of the river, the fox cried out suddenly, 'The water grows deeper still. Jump on my nose, I say. Jump on my nose.' So the little gingerbread boy jumped on the fox's nose. The fox sprang ashore, and threw back his head. Chomp, chomp chomp chomp. Half the gingerbread boy's gone. Chomp chomp chomp chomp chomp. He was three quarters gone. Snip, snap, snip. At last, and at last, he went the way of every single gingerbread boy that ever came out of an oven. The end.''
