Sorry

I'll let you take a bite of me

Are you...?

A gingerbread man

And you want me to bite you?

If you give me a dollar, you can have a bite of me

That's disgusting

You don't have to bite me, you can break a piece off

How old are you?

Not very old

You're stale

That's not a very nice thing to say. You need some work yourself

I'm sorry. It's just...I've never seen a homeless cookie

I am not a cookie. I am a gingerbread man

Sorry. I've never seen a homeless gingerbread man

You've never heard my story?

There was some poem about a gingerbread man when I was in school. I can't recall it

Can't catch me...yada yada yada

Right. You outran everybody. What happened?

My knees gave out

That's old age for ya. Why not go back to your gingerbread house

That was the witch from Hansel and Gretel. I'm probably related to the house as some distant cousin, but that's long been devoured

Do you have any relatives who can help you?

There was the woman who baked me. She had no kids so she baked me to fill the emptiness in her heart

She must have been a good mother

I don't know. The minute I was out of the oven I ran away from her. And her husband

Why?

It was the actions of a young and foolish pastry. The urge not to be contained. Then I had a nasty encounter with a fox. Now I'm on the street selling pieces of myself for money

That's crummy. Get it? Crummy?

Stare

Terrible...I meant terrible

Most reality is terrible. I wish I were still back in the fairy tale

Let me give you something

Thank you. What part would you like to eat?

I don't want any

What? I'm not good enough for you?

I'm trying to avoid sugar

A little bit is not going to kill you

I'm good

Sounds like you're too good to eat a lowly gingerbread man like me

Well...you are a little stale

I still taste good. Yesterday a nice man came back for seconds. He even brought a glass of milk. Would you like a piece of my arm? My leg? My side is pretty tasty

No... I can't

Come on. I feel guilty taking your money without giving anything back

Okay, maybe just a tiny bit. Does it hurt when you break a piece off?

Not too much

Then you better break it off for me

You want me to cannibalize myself for you? That's asking a little much

What part hurts you least?

Take a piece of my arm. That's not too bad

Okay...If you insist

Run, run, run as fast as you can! You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man
