Every Christmas, everyone eats gingerbread man cookies, which are cute in shape and delicious.

In fact, there is a touching story about the gingerbread man. Once upon a time there was a dessert house. The owner of the dessert house is an old grandmother. She only sells one food item: gingerbread. Years ago, at Christmas, her gingerbread was a good deal. It was gingerbread in the shape of a villain. And only for boys, not for girls. However, after many food stores opened nearby, the grandma's cakes were not easy to sell. Because other stores have a lot of goods, there are all kinds of cakes and pancakes, and the grandma only sells gingerbread. Someone kindly asked her, "Why don't you sell other food?" The grandmother was silent and just smiled.

Actually, this is something on the mind of the grandmother. When she was young, she saved a boy and later fell in love. At Christmas that year, the grandmother made a pair of gingerbread men, a boy and a girl. But when she showed it to the boy, she found that her sweetheart had to leave because of illness. Before leaving, the grandmother handed the girl gingerbread to him. The boy said, "I will definitely come back." In this way, decades have passed, and the boy has not been seen again. The old grandmother also used the ginger man to commemorate her lover.

The story isn't over yet. It is said that the grandmother still insists on selling gingerbread there. She felt that if her sweetheart came back, she wouldn't recognize her, and she would recognize her cake. Just like that, many years have passed. The grandmother found that she could not live long. She is anxious. What if the sweetheart comes back and can't see her cake? So she found a little girl who cared about her and accepted her as an apprentice. Teach her to make gingerbread. Soon, the old grandmother died, and the little apprentice continued to make cakes there. When the younger apprentice is old, he will teach the next apprentice... and so on. A long time later, a traveler from afar came here. He bought a gingerbread and pulled another from his bag. It was a girl's version of gingerbread. The shape is quite similar. Many locals gathered around to watch. The passenger said: "This is a traditional snack in our small town. A long time ago, it is said that it was invented by an old man. He is very strange and only makes gingerbread for women. Moreover, I heard that it is so that his lover can find it through the cake.

The above is the story about the gingerbread man. After listening to this story, will you have a different feeling when you enjoy gingerbread with your friends at Christmas?
