Today we made gingerbread cookies! The
dough was yucky. We read gingerbreadman
-books before we made them.
Once upon a time there was•ae old woman
and a little old man who lived in a tiny cottage
on a hillside. Every day was the same because
they didn't have any children to play with or

So one day; the woman made • a ginger-
