Audio tale The Gingerbread Man, contents:

Our list of online children's stories includes an audio fairy tale - The Gingerbread Man. This story was born a long time ago and talks about childless spouses. They had plenty of everything, but there were no heirs.

One day an old woman started baking gingerbread and wanted to mold it in the shape of a tiny man. She made him a nose, a mouth with eyes, put it in the oven, but got tired and went to rest.

After a while, the hostess went to see how well the dough was baked, and the little man jumped out of the oven. The old men ran after the fugitive, but he turned out to be fast - he sped off, and he was the only one they saw!

The gingerbread boy rushed to the field where they were threshing wheat and began to sing a teaser, which said that he had even run away from his grandparents, and would certainly run away from them! People heard this, were amazed at such unceremoniousness and wanted to teach him a lesson - they ran after him, hoping to teach him a lesson, but in vain! Then the little man saw the mowers and sang the same song to them, and they, too, got angry and immediately rushed after him.

Later he met a pig and a cow - they also got angry when they heard the bully’s teasing! And at the very end of this online audio tale, the fox ate him with gusto, biting off one piece at a time.

Gingerbread man (in Russian)

And now you will hear a tale that someone's great-great-great-grandmother told
to his little granddaughter many, many years ago

Once upon a time there lived a little old man and a little old lady
in a small house on the edge of the forest. Everything in their life
It was argued that only one thing was missing - the old man and old woman did not have children. And then one day, when the old lady
rolled out gingerbread dough on the table,
she took it and made it in the shape of a little man!
With arms, legs, head - and put it in the oven.

After a while, the old woman came up to see if the gingerbread was baked.
And as soon as she opened the oven door, the little gingerbread man
jumped out of it and rushed as fast as he could out of the house.

The old woman called to her husband, and they both rushed after him. But not like that
just catch the gingerbread man! He has already reached the threshing floor,
where the peasants threshed grain. And, running past, he sang:

And from a little old man!

All the peasants rushed after him. But no matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up

A little man came running to the field where the mowers were mowing the grass. He came running and sang:

I ran away from the little old lady

And from the little old man,

And from peasants with threshing machines,

And I’ll run away from you, that’s for sure!

The mowers could not stand such ridicule - everyone rushed after the gingerbread man.
They run as fast as they can, but they can’t catch up!

And a cow was coming towards the little man, and he sang to her too:

I ran away from the little old lady

And from the little old man,

And from peasants with threshing machines,

And from mowers with scythes,

The cow got angry - I'll gore it! And she also rushed after the gingerbread man.
He just can’t catch up. And towards him is a pig. The little man sang:

I ran away from the little old lady

And from the little old man,

And from peasants with threshing machines,

And from mowers with scythes,

And from a horned cow,

And I’ll run away from you, that’s for sure!

The pig squealed and rushed after him... But he couldn’t catch up!
The gingerbread man runs quickly. He runs and runs, and a fox meets him.
The little man started his song:

I ran away from the little old lady

And from the little old man,

And from peasants with threshing machines,

And from mowers with scythes,

And from a horned cow,

And from a pot-bellied pig,

And I’ll run away from you, that’s for sure!

And the fox set off after him. And foxes run fast - that's why the fox
quickly caught up with the gingerbread man and began to eat him.

- Oh oh! - shouted the gingerbread man. - They took a quarter bite out of me!

And then:

- Oh, oh, half of me was bitten off!

And finally:

- Ay, ay, three quarters have been bitten off! Well, here I am gone

And the gingerbread man said nothing more.

Gingerbread Fox jumped into the tongue, and his Fox - din! - And ate.

And now you will hear a fairy tale that someone’s great-great-great-grandmother told her little granddaughter many, many years ago...
Once upon a time there lived a little old man and a little old woman in a small house on the edge of the forest. Everything in their lives was in harmony, only one thing was missing - the old man and old woman did not have children.

All the peasants rushed after him. But no matter how fast they ran, they could not catch up...
A little man came running to the field where the mowers were mowing the grass. He came running and sang:

And a cow was coming towards the little man, and he sang to her too:

And from mowers with scythes,

The cow got angry - I'll gore it! And she also rushed after the gingerbread man. He just can’t catch up. And towards him is a pig. The little man sang:
I ran away from the little old lady
And from the little old man,
And from peasants with threshing machines,
And from mowers with scythes,
And from a horned cow,
And I’ll run away from you, that’s for sure!
The pig squealed and rushed after him... But he couldn’t catch up! The gingerbread man runs quickly. He runs and runs, and a fox meets him. The little man started his song:
I ran away from the little old lady
And from the little old man,
And from peasants with threshing machines,
And from mowers with scythes,
And from a horned cow,
And from a pot-bellied pig,
And I’ll run away from you, that’s for sure!
And the fox set off after him. And foxes run fast - so the fox quickly caught up with the gingerbread man and began to eat him.
- Oh oh! - shouted the gingerbread man. “They took a quarter bite out of me!”
And then:
- Oh, oh, half of me was bitten off!
And finally:
- Ay, ay, three quarters have been bitten off! Well, here I am gone...
And the gingerbread man said nothing more.

Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman in a small house on the edge of the forest. Everything in their life was going well, only one thing was missing - they didn’t have children. And then one day, when the old woman was rolling out gingerbread dough on the table, she took it and made a little man out of it! With arms, legs, head - and put it in the oven. After a while, the old woman came up to see if the gingerbread was baked. And as soon as she opened the oven door... The gingerbread man jumped out of it and ran as fast as he could out of the house.

The old woman clasped her hands and screamed and screamed. Where is it? There is no trace of the gingerbread man.

Here he is running, running. He sees a field, and on it peasants are harvesting wheat. The Gingerbread Man wanted to show off to them, so he shouted:

- I ran away from the old lady!

I ran away from the old man!

The peasants rushed after him, but could not catch up. The Gingerbread Man runs further, runs - there is a field ahead. And the mowers stack the hay on it. The gingerbread man shouted to them:

- I ran away from the old lady!

I ran away from the old man!

And he ran away from the peasants!

And you won’t catch up with me, that’s for sure!

The mowers threw down their rakes and pitchforks and rushed after the Gingerbread Man. But they didn’t catch up with him - they were just tired. And the Gingerbread Man runs on. A cow is walking towards him along the path.

And the Gingerbread Man shouted to her:

- I ran away from the old lady!

I ran away from the old man!

And he ran away from the peasants!

And he ran away from the mowers!

The cow got angry and rushed at the Gingerbread Man: “Now I’ll gore him!” But he deftly dodged and ran on. He runs, and a pig meets him. And the Gingerbread Man shouted to her:

- I ran away from the old lady!

I ran away from the old man!

And he ran away from the peasants!

And he ran away from the mowers!

And he ran away from the horned cow!

And you won’t catch up with me, that’s for sure!

The pig squealed and rushed after him. But where can she catch up with such a tomboy! The gingerbread man runs quickly. He runs and runs, and a fox comes towards him. And again the Gingerbread man shouted:

- I ran away from the old lady!

I ran away from the old man!

And he ran away from the peasants!

And he ran away from the mowers!

And he ran away from the horned cow!

And he ran away from the pot-bellied pig!

And you won’t catch up with me, that’s for sure!

The fox rushed after him. Foxes run fast. So she caught up with the Gingerbread Man and began to eat him.

- Oh-oh-oh-oh! - The Gingerbread Man cried. - They took a quarter bite out of me!

But no one came to his aid.

- Oh-oh-oh-oh! - the Gingerbread Man wailed. - Half of me has already been bitten off!

But this time no one helped him.

- Ay-ay-ay-ay! - The Gingerbread Man cries. - So I disappeared...

The fox licked her lips and, full and satisfied, went about her business.
