gingerbread man who leaps from her oven and runs away. The woman and her

husband give chase but fail to catch him. The gingerbread man then

outruns several farm workers and farm animals while taunting them with

the phrase:

" I've run away from a little old woman,

A little old man,

And I can run away from you, I can!

The tale ends with a fox catching and eating the gingerbread man who

cries as he's devoured, "I'm quarter gone...I'm half gone...I'm

three-quarters gone...I'm all gone! " - a detail often omitted in

subsequent versions.
