A gingerbread man was eaten by a fox last night.
It happened on Puddle Farm, just outside Whaddon.
Earlier in the day, the gingerbread man had escaped from his owner by jumping out of the oven.
He outran a horse, a cow, a dog and a cat.
But when he reached a deep pond, Mr. Gingerbread Man ran into a problem. He could not get across.

The Gingerbread Man’s final moments, captured by a nearby duck.

When the fox offered him a lift across the pond, Mr. Gingerbread Man did not see that it was a trick.
He climbed onto the fox’s back, then onto his nose... and that is when he was eaten.
The fox told us, “The Gingerbread Man was delicious.”
