Gemmerbroodman - 1 This is my translation of the story in the picture. Any feedback is appreciated! Ginger-ginger-gingerbread man! Grandma and grandpa Laloentjie lived on a farm, in a small house with a blue and white kitchen and an old black stove, where grandma Laloentjie baked the most delicious brown bread and cakes and tarts. On a winter's day when the wind was blowing coldly outside, grandpa Laloentjie said to grandma Laloentjie, "the cold makes one hungry. How about a warm gingerbread man? One with six fat raisins for buttons on his coat?". "What a good idea!" said grandma Laloentjie. She put on her her apron and got out the flour and eggs and sugar and butter and ginger. She made the most delicious gingerbread man, put him in a pan, and put the pan in the oven. Then she filled up her red enamel pot with rooibos tea, and she and grandpa Laloentjie went and sat by the table and waited for the gingerbread man to cook. "Hmm," said her husband. "It smells so delicious. He must be cooked." Grandma Laloentjie took the pan out of the oven. But just when she was about to pick up the gingerbead man, he hopped up and down and jumped onto the floor and scampered out the back door as fast as his ginger legs could carry him, through the garden and over the hills. "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" he sang and laughed a hoarse ginger-laugh. And grandma and grandpa Laloentjie ran after him as fast as their legs could carry them. When the gingerbread man ran past a cow, the cow said, "Ginger-ginger-gingerbread man, wait a minute, I want you!" But the gingerbread man just ran faster. "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" he sang in passing. And thump-thump, thump-thump, came the cow after him. The gingerbread man jumped over a ditch. On the other side of the ditch stood a horse. "Ginger-ginger-gingerbread man, wait a minute, I want you!" said the horse. But the gingerbread man just ran faster. "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" he sang in passing. And clip-clop, clip-clop, came the horse after him. Ahead in the road stood a pig. "Ginger-ginger-gingerbread man, wait a minute, I want you!" said the pig. But the gingerbread man just ran faster.
