The Gingerbread Girl

After their first gingerbread disaster, the lonely old woman and the lonely old man gather their courage to bake again. They decide to make a girl this time, figuring she will be too sweet to leave home. But when they open the oven, it’s all too familiar- I’ll run and I’ll run/With a leap and a twirl./You can’t catch me,/I’m the Gingerbread GIRL! You see, this smart cookie overheard the old woman and man talking about that dastardly fox, and she has a plan. Will it work? Let’s just say that the ending is sweet for everyone.
