Gingerbread Man vs. Gingerbread Boy

The Gingerbread Man and the Gingerbread Boy were two fairy tales which are quite different yet somewhat alike. The both were baked by an old lady, yet the purposes for making them were different. In the first story, the Gingerbread Man was made for the grandchildren. However, the Gingerbread Boy was made to be a son. The Gingerbread Man and Gingerbread Boy both ran away from animals. They both return home and at the end they were both happy. The Gingerbread Man was brown sugar with raisins, he had a mouthy eyes and Gingerbread Boy was peppercorn. The fox pretended to help the Gingerbread boy in both stories.
