One day Pockets decided to surprise his mother with her favorite thing that she likes to eat. She loves gingerbread and there’s something about it that makes her want to sing the muffin man song and it makes Pockets laugh out loud. Because she gets the song mixed up all the time.
So Pockets starts laughing on his way to the store to buy the mixes to make gingerbread cookies for his mother. He is so proud of himself. As he got home, he grabbed the bowl. He added water and eggs to the mix and used a big spoon. He kept on stirring and stirring. Then he fell asleep at the table from stirring so much and turning to make the batter smooth.
He began dreaming about making gingerbread cookies for his mother. He felt a tap on his shoulder. He looked behind him and there stood a gingerbread man asking Pockets, “What are you doing?” Pockets jumped back and fell to the floor. “Where did you come from?”, Pockets asked.
I came from your heart. The love that you have for your mother and the love that she has for you. Made me happy to tell you that you have 3 wishes from me. Okay, Pockets is still all shaken up! He said, I wished that you wouldn’t scare me like that not knowing that was his first wish.
The Gingerbread Man said, “Now you have 2 more wishes.” Pockets said, “Wait! That’s not fair! You scared me!” I have to finish baking the cookies for my mother. The Gingerbread man here catch. Pockets said, what? Oh! Don’t throw me the plate as Pockets ran over to catch it. My mother doesn’t want me to play with my food. Now I see why?!
For my second wish, I wish for a box and tape. The Gingerbread Bread man didn’t understand why Pockets wished for a box and tape. So a magical sound chimed then a box appeared. Still wondering why Pockets asks for those strange things?
Then Pockets asked for his 3rd wish. But, he asked the gingerbread man to step inside the box to see if it was big enough. So the Gingerbread man went inside the box. Quickly Pockets put the top on and taped up the box so the gingerbread man could not get out and Pockets said, for my third wish!
I wished that this box was shipped to the moon!
With a magical sound, the box was shipped to the moon and that was the end of the Gingerbread man. Then Pockets woke up from his dream and seemed so real. Pockets went back to bake his mother’s cookies
You can still see the Gingerbread Man on the moon with a smile on its face.
