00:00In a forest lived a rather rickety mouse, he was so afraid of the fox, the wolf and

00:16even himself for that matter, that if the wind blew and a branch cracked he looked around

00:24for a hole he could hide in.

00:28Because of this, all the little animals made fun of him.

00:34How scared is he?

00:38You're even scared of the wind.

00:41You're so scared.

00:47One day the mouse got his act together and went over to see the king of the jungle, the

00:52lion.

00:54The lion had just finished having his lunch, he was taking a nap in front of the cave.

01:01The mouse's friends were all curious as to what the mouse had planned.

01:06The mouse started to climb up the lion's tail.

01:13He got up on the lion's back, with a very confident look on his face he posed to his

01:19friends.

01:21Although he was very scared, he was doing everything in his hand not to make it obvious.

01:27Right at that moment the lion woke up, and as he shook his fur the mouse fell off.

01:36The mouse and the lion came eye to eye.

01:43All the other animals were worried.

01:51Oh no!

01:52The lion will swallow the mouse!

01:55What nerve!

01:56What courage!

01:57What are you doing on my back?

02:01King of the jungle, please don't eat me.

02:09I'm the most scared and the most vulnerable of them all.

02:15My life passes by shaking with fear.

02:20Even leaf falls off of the tree.

02:23I'm scared, I'm fed up with this, I want to get rid of this fear.

02:29You're the king of the jungle, with just one big roar the animals fear you.

02:36Would you consider taking me to your custody?

02:41The lion listened to the mouse in silence.

02:45The mouse was wondering what his reply was going to be.

02:55And why should I help you?

02:58Give me one good reason as to why I shouldn't eat you.

03:03Your help will be returned, I promise.

03:07Maybe one day I will help you.

03:10As soon as the mouse finished what he had to say, the lion roared in such a way.

03:17How can such a tiny mouse as yourself be of any help to me?

03:24But seeing the tiny mouse shaking in front of him, the lion decided not to eat him.

03:31Thank God I am full, now get out of my sight.

03:36The mouse ran and got away from there.

03:39Watching all that was happening from afar, the friends of the mouse were really surprised.

03:45Some time had passed by, the lion got hungry and started wandering around in the forest.

03:51But he could not notice the hunter's trap and got caught.

03:55He was hung in the air in a big net.

04:01He tried to break free from the net, but he could not do it.

04:06He was the king of the forest, so if he could yell for help, he would be humiliated.

04:12And all the hunters would hear him and come to get him faster.

04:16Being out of options, he began to wait.

04:22Meanwhile, the other animals living in the forest noticed the lion.

04:28But nobody could dare get close to him.

04:36When he was passing by, little mouse saw the lion and he decided to help him.

04:42He went directly next to him.

04:45He started to climb the lion's long tail and when he reached the net, he began to chew on it.

04:52At that moment, the bunny came running next to them.

04:56Hey buddy, hurry up, the hunters are coming.

04:59The other animals who were gathered around suddenly started to run around when they heard the word, hunter.

05:07But the mouse kept on chewing with persistence.

05:12In the end, the net was torn apart and the lion fell down and got away.

05:18Come on, jump on my back, let's get out of here.

05:21The mouse jumped on the lion's back and they got away from there.

05:28All breathless, the lion arrived in front of his cave.

05:32He kneeled down and the mouse jumped off.

05:37When you told me that one day you might be able to help me, I underestimated you.

05:43I thought you were a tiny mouse with no use at all.

05:48But you saved my life.

05:53It's my pleasure, my king.

05:55You don't have to be afraid of me anymore.

05:58In fact, you do not need to fear anything because you're a very courageous mouse.

06:04If I am the king of the jungle, from now on you are my courageous prince.

06:14Lion and the mouse began to laugh.

06:25All the animals watching all that was happening from afar came out and applauded the courageous mouse.

06:31The lion and the mouse became best friends and the forest lived in peace forever.

06:40Once upon a time, there lived an old couple in an old small shack next to a forest.

06:45They were living a happy and peaceful life.

06:47Their only regret was not having a child of their own.

06:51One day, when the old lady was about to give birth,

06:55their only regret was not having a child of their own.

06:59One day, when the old lady was making cookie dough in the kitchen,

07:03her husband came in.

07:06Darling, what are you cooking today?

07:09Oh, my darling, I'm baking a gingerbread man today.

07:16The old lady kneaded the dough and cut a gingerbread man shape.

07:20After putting it in the oven, she sat down and started to wait for the gingerbread man to bake.

07:28When she could smell the delicious cookie all around the air in the kitchen,

07:32she put on her oven gloves and took the gingerbread man out.

07:38Now it was time to decorate it.

07:42She made eyes out of raisins and a cute nose using candy.

07:47And then she used some cream to make his hair and clothes.

07:52And lastly, she used cherries to make some buttons for him.

07:58She had a look at her masterpiece and said,

08:01My gingerbread man looks beautiful, but I feel like something is missing.

08:08The old lady looked at him again and

08:11Oh, his mouth! I forgot to make his mouth.

08:16She drew a mouth on the gingerbread man's face with the cream.

08:21Oh, yes, now you are complete, my gingerbread man.

08:26At that moment, something unexpected happened.

08:29Thank you!

08:31But, but, how can it be you are talking?

08:35Gingerbread man suddenly stood up and started running.

08:38Yeah, and I can also run!

08:43The gingerbread man jumped from the kitchen bench to the chair,

08:46then to the ground and started running fast to the kitchen door to the garden.

08:52Come back! Come back!

08:56The old lady yelled.

08:58The gingerbread man began talking whilst he was running.

09:02Yeah, run, run, as fast as you can, but nobody can catch me

09:06because I'm the gingerbread man.

09:09The old lady got out to the garden and started running after the gingerbread man.

09:14The man looked out the window and saw his wife running and yelled.

09:18Hey, where are you running?

09:21The old lady answered to her husband whilst running.

09:24My gingerbread man ran away. I'm trying to catch him.

09:32The old man was speechless.

09:34The old lady ran, but the gingerbread man was so fast that it was impossible to catch him.

09:39After a short while, the gingerbread man came across a ranch.

09:44A grazing cow noticed him.

09:47Oh, what a nice cookie! I should catch and eat him.

09:52The cow also began to run after the gingerbread man.

09:56Wait! Don't run! I'm gonna eat ya!

09:59Yeah, run, run, as fast as you can.

10:02An old lady is also trying to catch me, but nobody can because I'm the gingerbread man.

10:08The old lady and the cow were running after the gingerbread man.

10:13And at this time, a pig noticed the gingerbread man.

10:19A gingerbread man! True to my taste buds! Wait and I will catch you!

10:25The gingerbread man answered the pig whilst he was running.

10:29Yeah, run, run, as fast as you can.

10:32An old lady and a cow are also trying to catch me, but nobody can because I'm the gingerbread man.

10:39While they were running, the gingerbread man in front, the old lady, cow and the pig behind him,

10:45a chicken noticed the gingerbread man while looking for some food.

10:49Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack!

10:52That has to be my lunch!

10:53That has to be my lunch!

10:55So the chicken tagged along.

10:57Run as much as you want, gingerbread man! I'm gonna catch you!

11:01Quack, quack, quack!

11:03Yeah, run, run, as fast as you can.

11:05An old lady, a cow and a pig could not catch me.

11:10Neither can you. Nobody can because I'm the gingerbread man.

11:15The gingerbread man in front, the old lady, cow, the pig and the chicken,

11:20they all continued to run.

11:23But the gingerbread man was getting more and more further ahead from the others.

11:28The gingerbread man was so happy and very proud of himself.

11:32I'm the brightest and the fastest gingerbread man in the world!

11:36Yes, that's me! Nobody can catch me because I'm the gingerbread man!

11:43When he looked ahead, soon the gingerbread man saw that he was coming across a river.

11:48And he stopped because he knew that water could make him melt away.

11:54Oh no! What now?

11:59The old lady, cow, pig and the chicken were close now.

12:04Right at that moment, a shifty fox appeared from behind a tree.

12:09I know how to swim. If you want, I can help you.

12:12The gingerbread man thought about it.

12:15What if you eat me?

12:16You don't have to worry. I don't want to eat you. I just want to help you get across.

12:22The gingerbread man trusted the shifty fox and jumped on his tail, holding on as tight as he could.

12:28The fox jumped in the river and began to swim.

12:32Meanwhile, the old lady, cow, pig and the chicken came to the edge of the river

12:38and saw the gingerbread man crossing the river on the back of a fox.

12:41Helplessly, they watched them go, knowing they could not catch him anymore.

12:47The river began to get deeper and the water started to rise.

12:51Hey fox, keep your tail up. I almost got wet.

12:55Up on my back, it's safer.

12:58The gingerbread man hopped on the fox's back.

13:02They swam for a while, but as the water got deeper, the fox's back began to sink in the water.

13:08I'm afraid that you'll get wet.

13:11Why don't you jump on my head, where it's a bit higher?

13:15The gingerbread man climbed up on his head.

13:18The fox continued to pursue his plan and dipped his head down in the water.

13:22The water has risen too much. Why don't you get on my nose? It's higher.

13:28So the gingerbread man got on top of his nose.

13:31Right when they were about to reach the shore, the fox tipped his nose,

13:34flipping the gingerbread man into the air and opened his mouth.

13:37The gingerbread man was going to fall into his mouth and the fox was going to eat him.

13:42But it didn't work.

13:44While the gingerbread man was in the air, a crow flying right above them

13:48caught the gingerbread man with his beak.

13:51The fox just stood there looking with his mouth open.

13:54The gingerbread man waited for the crow to fly a little further and asked,

13:59Do crows eat ginger cookies?

14:02Yeah.

14:04When the crow opened his beak to speak,

14:05the gingerbread man fell down and began to run as fast as he could.

14:11Yeah, run, run as fast as you can, an old lady, a cow, a pig, a chicken,

14:18a fox and a crow also tried to catch me, but nobody can

14:22because I'm the gingerbread man.

14:25The gingerbread man kept on running and did not stop.

14:29If you see a gingerbread man pass you by running,

14:33do not try to catch him,

14:35because he is the gingerbread man and nobody can dare catch him.
