The Big Pancake(2)

But while it was cooking, the Pancake had been thinking.

" If I stay here, I will be gobbled right up by those seven hungry little boys. I must escape! "

And when the little boy's mother tossed the pancake into the air, it seized its chance.

With a flip and a flop the big pancake did a back somersault and landed on the kitchen floor! Then it rolled straight out of the door.

"Stop!" cried the seven hungry little boys and their mother
"We want to eat you ! "

" Oh no, thought the big pancake. And it rolled off down the road.

Soon the pancake passed a man in his garden.

" Stop! " cried the man. " I'd like to eat you ! " But the pancake just rolled faster.

" I don't want to be eaten," it said. " Seven hungry little boys couldn't catch me. Their mother couldn't catch me. And I won't  let you catch me ! "

But the man put down his spade and chased after the big pancake.


Next the pancake passed a cat sitting on a wall.

" Stop! " miaowed the cat. " I'd like to eat you! " But the pancake just rolled faster.

" I don't want to be eaten," it said. " Seven hungry little boys couldn't catch me. Their mother couldn't catch me. A man couldn't catch me. And I won't let you catch me!"

But the cat jumped off the wall and ran after the big pamcake.


Further on the pancake passed a cockerel sitting on a gate.

" Stop! " crowed the cockerel. " I'd like to eat you! " But the pancake just rolled faster.

" I don't want to be eaten," it said. " Seven hungry little boys couldn't catch me. Their mother couldn't catch me. A man couldn't catch me. A cat couldn't catch me.  And I won't let you catch me!"

But the cockerel jumped off the gate and ran after the big pancake.

ビタースイートさん、おはようございます。
パンケーキ（ホットケーキの１枚モノ）、逃げ出してしまいました。
絵がないのでわかりずらいのですが、一応、自転車の車輪みたいに、回転しながら動いているようです。

皆が後を追いかけます。どうなってしまうのか？明日、最終回です。
では。
