To her surprise, when she opened the oven, the Gingerbread Man jumped out!  \n3  \nThe Gingerbread Man ran out of the house. The little old woman and her husband ran as fast as they could, but they could not catch the Gingerbread Man.  \nA cow grazing in a field sniffed the air. The smell of ginger made the cow want to eat the Gingerbread Man. The cow could not catch the Gingerbread Man either.  \nA cat sleeping in the warm sunshine thought that the Gingerbread Man would make a tasty treat. Not even the cat could catch the Gingerbread Man.  \n5  \nThen the Gingerbread Man met a clever fox.  \nThe fox pretended that he was not hungry and therefore did not want to catch the Gingerbread Man.  \n7  \nThe clever fox said that he would be happy to help the Gingerbread Man cross the river.  \nAs they were crossing the river, the fox said,“The water is getting deeper. You should ride on my head.”  \nMoments later the fox said,“Now you should ride on my nose.”  \nBefore the Gingerbread Man could even say,“Thank you for your kindness,” the fox ate him — every last bite.  \n9","cbCaiclWk2wjhFMF","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiclWk2wjhFMF","pdf",1266521,17,"English","# The Escape from the Oven\n## The Chase Begins\n## Meeting the Clever Fox\n## The River Crossing and Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What happens immediately after the little old woman opens the oven?\",\"answer\":\"The Gingerbread Man jumps out of the oven and begins to run away.\"},{\"question\":\"Why were the cow and the cat unable to catch the Gingerbread Man?\",\"answer\":\"The Gingerbread Man was too fast for them, and they could not overtake him despite their desire to eat him.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the fox trick the Gingerbread Man?\",\"answer\":\"The fox gains the cookie's trust by offering to help him cross the river, then convinces him to move from his head to his nose before eating him.\"}]","The Gingerbread Man - English Story Book | PDF",26]
