"Oy vey", sighed the little fox Abe. "I just couldn't seem to get that little kid to get onto my back. I've been struggling all day trying to convince him to hop on for the ride across. He came running down here to the river, screaming 'you can't catch me' wants to get across, and says he's gonna wait for the barge to come up from Danville. What a shmuck!"
The cow, Cindy Sue, munching on a stray tuft of grass she'd missed the last time she wandered down to the bank, tossed her head toward the bedraggled fox. "Well, I must say, if I were a gingerbread kid, I 'd think you was joshing me. You look pertner starved and ready to eat mos' anything."
An alligator by the name of Stosh, was hiding in the reeds by the small bayou. He slithered out of the shoals and spoke up, "Jeez, don't ya know, eh? I can't believe you're such a dozey! All ya had ta do was tell him you was da only water taxi on this river.
"Honey, though you are a fox through and through, I'd say you'd be a wolf in sheep's clothing really as far as that gingerbread boy is concerned, darlin'", Sadie Magpie shrieked tartly from an overhanging limb.
"Well, don't that beat all! It's the whole durn bunch of you guys down here. I figured I'd find ya'll down here together shooting the breeze. Don't yah know this multicultural campaign goin' on ain't fer ya'll. A fox, cow, alligator and magpie don't talk the same language, and I'm the one havin' to take care of my youngun' anyway. I done baked him up and I'll take him down myself!" Gramma finished off with a flourish, still yelling, "Come back, Lil' Gingerbread Boy!"
