00:00Welcome to Fabulous Fables. Hello little ones.
00:04Here's a fairy tale about a gingerbread man who trusts strangers too easily.
00:10Let's see what happens to him.
00:12Once upon a time in a beautiful and lush meadow,
00:16there lived an old couple in a small cottage.
00:19One morning, the wife decided to make a special treat for her husband.
00:24I'm going to bake a big gingerbread man, she said excitedly.
00:29She mixed the flour, rolled out the dough, and carefully cut it into a human-like shape.
00:35Then, she put the dough in the oven to bake.
00:38After the gingerbread man was done baking,
00:41she used icing to add details such as the mouth, eyes, bowty, and buttons.
00:47As she was admiring her wonderful creation,
00:50the gingerbread man suddenly came to life and screamed,
00:54Please, don't eat me.
00:56Then, he quickly jumped off the table and ran out through the back door.
01:01Stop running.
01:03We want to eat you.
01:04The old woman shouted as she chased after him.
01:08Alerted by the commotion, her husband joined the pursuit.
01:12The gingerbread man laughed and called back,
01:15Huh? Huh?
01:17You can run with all your might.
01:19But you'll never catch me.
01:22Because I'm the gingerbread man.
01:24As he was running through the garden,
01:26he passed a cow.
01:28The cow mooed,
01:29Stop running.
01:31I want to eat you.
01:32But he chuckled and said,
01:34I've outrun the old couple,
01:36and I'll run away from you too.
01:38He ran even faster,
01:40and the cow joined the chase.
01:42Soon,
01:43the gingerbread man encountered a horse grazing in the field.
01:46The horse looked at him and neighed,
01:50Hey, you look delicious.
01:52Stop running.
01:53I want to eat you.
01:55I've outrun the old couple and the cow,
01:58and I'll run away from you too.
02:00He called out.
02:01He kept on running with the old couple,
02:04the cow,
02:05and the horse in hot pursuit.
02:07As he was passing a farm,
02:09a hen saw him and clucked,
02:11Stop running.
02:12I want to eat you.
02:13Again,
02:14he laughed mockingly and said,
02:16Ha!
02:17Ha!
02:18You think you can catch me?
02:20I've outrun the old couple,
02:22the horse and the cow.
02:24I'll run away from you too.
02:26Feeling confident,
02:28the gingerbread man thought to himself,
02:30Those slowpokes will never catch me,
02:33because I'm the gingerbread man.
02:35While he was running along the riverbank,
02:37he met a cunning fox.
02:39The fox greeted him with a friendly smile.
02:43Good morning,
02:44little gingerbread man.
02:46May I ask why you're in such a hurry?
02:48I've outrun the old couple,
02:50the horse,
02:51the cow,
02:52and the hen,
02:52and I'll run away from you too.
02:55The gingerbread man replied,
02:57Oh,
02:58I have no intention of chasing you.
03:01However,
03:03if you want to get to the other side of the river,
03:05I can help.
03:07Just hop onto my tail,
03:08and I'll take you across.
03:10The fox said.
03:12After thinking for a moment,
03:14the gingerbread man decided to trust the fox,
03:17and jumped onto his tail.
03:18Soon after he started swimming,
03:20the fox suggested,
03:22You can move up to my back if you want to stay dry.
03:26Afraid of getting wet,
03:27the gingerbread man climbed onto the fox's back.
03:30A while later,
03:32the fox said,
03:33The water is getting deeper.
03:35Why don't you move up to my head?
03:37And the gingerbread man did exactly as he was told.
03:40When they arrived in the middle of the river,
03:43the fox said,
03:44This is the deepest point of the river.
03:47You'd better move up to my nose.
03:49Without hesitation,
03:51the gingerbread man jumped onto the fox's nose.
03:54Just as they were about to reach the riverbank,
03:57the fox suddenly threw the gingerbread man up in the air,
04:00and gobbled him up in one bite.
04:03And that was the end of the overconfident gingerbread man.
04:06The moral of the gingerbread man,
04:08is that we should be wary of strangers,
04:11even if they seem friendly or helpful.
