The Gingerbread Boy ran on and on, till he came to a cow.
He called out to the cow,
“I have run away from
A little old woman,
A little old man,
A barn full of threshers,
A field full of mowers,
And I can run away from you,
I can, I can.”
Then the cow ran after him, but she could not catch him.

And I can run away from you,
I can, I can.”
