The Gingerbread Man

"I have run away from a farmer, a horse, a cow, a little old woman and a little old man and I can run away from you too!" (P33)

This man is made by a farmer. He is Gingerbread. He run away them. He says them, "I run away from them!" However, he is eaten by fox.

Like them, Fox wants to eat him, too. So he waits for chance. As a result, he was eaten... I think he does't have to run away a farmer, because they want to children. Why he run away? Maybe, he wants to free. However, he's life is very short. I felt regret.
