All Because of that Gingerbread Man

By Maura Mulligan

Well, one day I was out in the woods looking for lunch and along came a Gingerbread Man. I have been making plans to catch one for the longest time. It finally worked! He fell for my ingenious plan. (insert evil laugh)

First, I asked him to jump on my back, then my head and even got him to jump on my nose. I mean, I have tried this tons of times, but all of the Gingerbread Men were too smart to actually jump on my nose. I mean, come on, the Gingerbread Man probably did not go to college or even elementary school — Wow!! I have to admit that the thing he said was kind of catchy. Oh, what did he say? Oh yes, “Run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man.” But that did not stop me! I was too determined to eat that Gingerbread Man. Pop would be so proud of me for trying a new food and I would get another badge for Fox Scouts. Now, enough jibber jabber, let me get back to my story.

As I was saying, he jumped on my nose, then Snap, Snap! I finally tried a Gingerbread Man. It was actually really good! It tasted just like chicken —Yum, Yum. Pop was proud of me and 1 did get my badge for trying something new. This is going to be my 20th badge. Yeah!! I finally have more than the other Fox Scouts. They all have 19, but I have 20!
