Crunch! A scary big black bear had eaten the gingerbread man!

Let me tell you an hour before this thing had happened.  There was a grandpa named Alex and a grandma named Sam. One time they were at a cave and beside a campfire making a gingerbread man in a cave and when they were done making and baking it, the gingerbread man came to life. When Alex and Sam saw him, he was running in the cave in circles and waiting for Sam and Alex to get tired so he could run out.

Alex and Sam chased him for a long time, but they didn’t see the bear watching them in the distance. The bear wants to eat him, but he thinks “If he just goes there to eat him, he will run away and will escape from my hand, maybe I will pretend to help him, and then I can eat him. So first the bear scared away Alex and Sam. Then the bear said “I will help you and I will not eat you”. Then the gingerbread man trusted the bear.

When they walked to a place that was full of people or animals and if people or animals were trying to eat the gingerbread man, the bear would fight them all off. The gingerbread man started to trust the bear. That was a super bad mistake he made because the gingerbread man did not know that the bear was extremely evil and the bear will eat him if he wasn't careful.

Meanwhile, the bear said “I will take you to my shelter for the night”, and the gingerbread man started to get a little suspicious. His thought why does the bear need to tell me this, and why can’t he just build a house with me in the jungle, but wait maybe I am overthinking it, maybe he just wants to meet his sibling. So after making up his mind, the gingerbread man went with the bear.

When the gingerbread man saw the bear’s cave, there was no one else inside. The gingerbread man thought. If there was no one else in the house, why does the bear have a cave all to himself if isn't going to share his cave with his family and friends? He thought. “Wait… Maybe I overthinking it again, the bear just wanted to bring me to his cave so we can rest for the night, so we don’t need to make a new house in the forest”. So the gingerbread man went inside. When they’re in the cave, the bear starts to guide the gingerbread man around the cave. After the bear was done guilding the gingerbread man, the bear took him to his room.
