THE BISCUIT BOY

Many years ago there
lived an old man and an
old woman in a village. One
morning the old woman
said, “We have flour, sugar,
milk, and butter at home.
I’ll bake a cake for my old
man.” So the old woman
took some flour, sugar,
milk and butter and made a
cake which was like a little
boy. She put it in the oven in the kitchen. Some time later Biscuit
Boy was ready.
She took the Biscuit Boy out of the oven, put it on a plate on the
table and called the old man. He came, looked at the Biscuit Boy and
said, “I am very hungry. I shall eat this Biscuit Boy now.”
When the Biscuit Boy heard the old man’s words he jumped off
the plate and ran away. The old man and the old woman called,”Stop,
Biscuit Boy, stop!” They ran after him, but could not catch him.
The Biscuit Boy ran and shouted, “I am not a boy. I am a Biscuit
Boy.”
Soon the Biscuit Boy met a big grey
wolf. The Biscuit Boy did not stop. He
ran and sang “I am not a boy. I am not
a toy. I am a Biscuit Boy. You cannot
catch me. I ran away from an old man.
I ran away from an old woman. And I
can run away from you.”
The big grey wolf ran after the
Biscuit Boy but it could not catch him.
