Stop Mr. Ginger!
If you want to save yourself from an evil fox, listen to what I have to say! Many experts have now confirmed this fox of having a sinister plan to eat you and I am sure you won’t come back in one piece if you go with him, but I have a few ideas that will save your life.
Secretly, I know of a place called Ginger Valley where Gingerbread men and women just like you can go through a secret path leading out of the forest and no animal has ever found it. People know as a fact that Gingerbread men are extremely tasty, which means you must go through Ginger Valley today. Don’t worry; Ginger Valley is a super secret place. Just go south through the forest along the tiny spotted dirt track and come up to the large boulder next to the old sycamore tree. Once you are there say “salvation,” and Gingerbread men will escort you in. Some say Ginger Valley might be discovered by an animal one day and all of the Gingerbread men and women will be slaughtered. However, loyal Gingerbread warriors guard Ginger Valley with their lives and are specialized in dealings with devious animals
While this secret is a superb choice, animals that can help you are equally important. Crocodiles, tigers, and bears may look like they are going to attack you straight away, but as a matter of fact, they will follow you every command Mr. Ginger! Research has shown that crocodiles, tigers, and bears do not like how Gingerbread men taste at all. For reasons unknown, they are afraid of you and just so you will spare them, they will do whatever you say. Crocodiles, tigers, and bears are the perfect guards who will get you through the forest and you won’t have to worry about the fox. The fox could tell how you wouldn’t stand a chance against your guards, but fortunately for you, crocodiles, tigers, and bears hate foxes with a passion and won’t believe a word he says. Besides, they will probably beat him to a pulp anyway.
If you are not feeling trusting right now, I have a plan just as impressive and the best part is, you can do it all your own. Gingerbread men are excellent craftsmen so building a mini-raft is a natural solution. Forest materials such as twigs, leaves, and tree bark are sure to help you make a fine raft. Gingerbread men mini-rafts are incredibly sturdy and they definitely will get you across the river safely. If you use the Cookie Knot and the Icing Maneuver, your raft will be the strongest and fastest ever built. Animals say the fox can easily attack you, but if you take paths in deep water, the fox will be too scared to attack.
My suggestions will save you from a devious fox who is planning to eat you, so do yourself a favor and follow my advice. With all of the natural materials around you, a mini-raft is so easy to make and it will get you across the river. Ginger Valley is one of the best sanctuaries for Gingerbread men and women and no animal has ever found it. Crocodiles, tigers, and bears will bow down to you if you make them and they will escort you safely through the forest. Think about it Mr. Ginger, would you like to put your life on the line by going with the fox, or obtain control of your fate by using my recommendations?
