Title – The Jinjerbred boi [sic]
A picture using painted cut-out pieces of card shows a couple at the gate of their cottage, with a cow and a horse and chickens in the garden and geese in the pond. Inside the house a woman rolls out a gingerbread boy and puts it in the oven. The cat chases a mouse and after a while the gingerbread boy jumps out of the oven and runs off with the woman and man in pursuit. The gingerbread boy stops to talk to a cow, which joins him, and then again stops to talk to the horse, which also runs off with them. Other animals also join in the chase. The gingerbread boy gets a lift on the back of a fox across a river and escapes, as the couple and other animals remain looking on, stranded on the other side of the river.
