"The Gingerbread Man" (Kolobok) is a Russian folk tale about a little round bun who runs away from the old man and woman who baked him. As he rolls through the forest, he meets different animals like a hare, a wolf, and a bear. He sings a song and escapes each time. But in the end, a clever fox tricks him and eats him. The story teaches a lesson about being too proud and trusting strangers.
