In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale,

In an 1875 St. Nicholas Magazine* cumulative tale, an old woman bakes a gingerbread man, who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her husband give chase but are unable to catch him. The gingerbread man then outruns several farm characters in repetitious scenes featuring an ever-growing cast for the tale's effect. Each time he escapes, he chants a list of those he has steered clear of and bets he can avoid the next character too: “I've run away from a little old man, a little old man and the old lady, and I can run away from you—I can!”
•
It all ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread man, who cries as he is devoured: “I'm quarter gone! I'm half gone! I'm three-quarters gone! I'm all gone!” 🦊🍪 #homemade #gingerbreadspice #gingerbreadman #gingerbreadhouse #gingerbreadcookies #gingerbreadlady
