What is The gingerbread man about?

A freshly baked gingerbread man leaps from the oven and races away before anyone can eat him. He dashes past an old woman, an old man, a pig, a cow and a horse, shouting that nobody can catch him. Feeling proud of his speed, he reaches a river and meets a clever fox. The fox offers to help him cross, but the gingerbread man soon discovers that escaping everyone may be harder than he expected.
