NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: You should say,’ How do you do?'

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: How do you do, madam?

Ben is the only who doesn't see gingerbread man.

BEN, FARMER: Can I have some gingerbread? It smells tasty. JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: I don't know what you mean. Cream and butter. Two grapes and a lemon, and much sugar. But I'm hot. It was awfully hot in the oven.

NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: Lie on the windowsill, it's cooler. Relax.(to her husband): It's not ready, Ben. It should lie by the window.

BEN, FARMER: Whom you are talking to? There is nobody here except me and I keep silence.

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: They've puzzled me very mach. I think this company doesn’t suit me. (Gets away).

BEN, FARMER (in an angry voice): Nan! Fetch my gingerbread this moment! I would like to eat.

NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: I've put it at the window. Fetch yourself.

BEN, FARMER (looking anxiously about): There is nothing at the window!

SCENE II

SETTING.

ANN, FARMER'S COW: Good morning, sir!

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN:

Good morning, good morning,

Good morning to you.

Good morning, dear cow,

I'm glad to see you.

ANN, FARMER'S COW: Let me introduce Sam. It's a friend of mine.

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: Such a lovely day, isn't it?

SAM, FARMER'S DOG: Very. You smells tasty. Butter?

ANN, FARMER'S COW: Sure. Cream and butter. Two grapes and a lemon, and some sugar. I wish it were salt, not sugar… Mmm!

SAM, FARMER'S DOG: Sugar is not bad, either.

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: How are you getting on with this family?

SAM, FARMER'S DOG: I don't think we live fairly. Ben never feeds me enough. I'm always hungry. (Looking at Gingerbread man with great curiosity).

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: Can you sing and dance?

SAM, FARMER'S DOG: Did you say,’ Help yourself?'

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: No, I didn't. Can you sing and dance?

SAM, FARMER'S DOG: An empty stomach is a bad singer and dancer.

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: I'd love to have a fun. You can play the guitar or something like this. (To the cow): Are you dancing?

ANN, FARMER'S COW: Sure, my sweet. Come closer. We are close friends, aren't we?

JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: What are you doing?

ANN, FARMER'S COW: That's none of your business. Just come closer.

SAM, FARMER'S DOG (angrily): But it is his business. You can eat grass.
