I am going to tell you about a little woman who comes out of a fairy tale. Her name is Ginger Bread Cookie. This is how it all started.
The Muffin Man (who lived on Dreary Lane) was baking a new batch of cookies when his friend called to talk to him. He left the tray of ginger bread men (and women) out on the counter until the oven was preheated just right. He went into the other room. What he didn't know what that once you put the M&M nose on, the cookie comes to life.
Ginger was the only one with her nose. She opened her eyes and realized that she could sit up. She stood up, a little shaky, and attempted to walk to the edge of the tray. She fell a few times on the way there. When she finally reached the edge of the pan, she noticed that she had broken off part of her arm. She heard foot steps, big footsteps. Someone was coming. She had to act fast. She didn't want to be like all the other ginger bread people and go into the oven.
She looked down. She knew that if she jumped, she would break her arm off (remember, she is a cookie...almost) she decided to hide behind a big jar full of candy. When the Muffin Man came in she looked and realized how large he is. She watched in sorrow as all the other ginger bread men and women got their noses and, without a chance to get up, got put into the oven. The Muffin Man walked away while all the other cookies baked.
She walked over to the sink and saw a little string going down to the floor. She went down the "rope". She went to the door. She was very lucky, the door was open just enough for her to slip out. Unfortunately, every time someone walked out the door, even the smallest of people, the door would make a dinging sound.
The bell rang and the Muffin Man walked in the kitchen to see who was there. He saw the little cookie slip out and was very confused. He went after her anyway. When he was putting the cookies in the oven he had noticed that there was one missing. He figured that the cat had eaten it so he made another one.
Well the Muffin Man got very mad. He took his pot and his spoon. He started to chase after Ginger. They passed by Little Miss Muffet’s house, and she and her cat were sitting on the lawn. Her cat started to chase after Ginger and then Little Miss Muffet went after her cat. Now the Muffin Man, Little Miss Muffet and her cat were chasing after Ginger.
Ginger reached a little pond with fish inside the pond and birds on the edge. The birds heard all the noise and looked up. They were very hungry and wanted something to eat. So when they saw a little helpless cookie running, they wanted to eat her up. So the birds took off in the air and started flying after Ginger. Now the Muffin Man, Little Miss Muffet, and her cat, and now all the birds were chasing after her.
After she had run for a long time she was ahead of all the people chasing her. She got to a river and didn’t know how she was going to get across. While she was wondering, a Very chubby piggy came up to her.
“Yum, this cookie looks very yummy. Maybe I can get her to get onto my nose and I can swim her across. Then right as we get to the other side, I will eat her up.” thought the very greedy pig. “Hello…Uhhh what can I call you?” said the pig to Ginger.
“My name is Ginger and I am trying to think of a way to get across this river, so if you please, now is not the best time to talk.” Said the very distressed Ginger.
“Well Ginger, I know a way that you can get across.” Said the pig to Ginger.
“You do? How can I get to the other side? Oh please help me. All these people are chasing after me and I really need help.” Ginger said, almost in tears.
“Well, you get onto my nose and I will swim you across.” Said the pig, now very anxious to eat Ginger. Ginger’s old friend had told her about a pancake she used to know. This pig had eaten the poor old pancake up when he went on the pigs’ nose.
“Uh, well now that I look harder, I see a few stepping stones that I can go across.” Ginger said nervously.
“But what if you can’t get across? Then you will drown.” Said the pig so hungry now that he was drooling. While the pig was making silly reasons why Ginger should get on his nose, Ginger went over to the stepping stones and went across with no problem.
“Thanks for everything pig.” Cried Ginger from the other side of the river. The pig didn’t know who or what had said that, but when he looked down, Ginger was gone. Ginger walked into the woods a little ways and came upon a little house made from candy. Ginger had heard about this house from someone, she didn’t remember much but she did know that it was very bad.
Behind the house she saw a light. She got very curious and went around back to look where the light was coming from. She peeked around the corner and saw a big hole in the ground. She looked in the hole and saw a light. Suddenly something nudged her and she fell into the hole. She looked up and thought that she saw an old witch.
