An old woman had seven children.

She made a big pancake.

The children said, "We want that big pancake."

The pancake heard the children.

It said, "The children shall not eat me."

And it rolled away.

The old woman ran after the pancake.

The seven children ran after it.

The old woman said, "Stop, pancake. My children want to eat you."

The pancake said, "I can not stop for you."

And it rolled away.

An old man saw the pancake.

He said, "Good-day, pancake."

"Good-day, old man," said the pancake.

"Stop," said the old man. "Do not go so fast. I want to eat you."

The pancake said, "I did not stop for the old woman, I did not stop for the seven children, I can not stop for you."

And it rolled away.

It rolled, and it rolled, and it rolled.

She said, "Good-day, pancake."

"Good-day, hen," said the pancake.

"Stop, pancake," said the hen. "Do not go so fast. I want to eat you."

The pancake said, "I did not stop for the old woman, I did not stop for the seven children, I did not stop for the old man. I can not stop for you."

And it rolled away.

It rolled, and it rolled, and it rolled.

A cock saw the pancake.

He said, "Good-day to you, pancake."

"Good-day, cock," said the pancake.

"Stop," said the cock. "Do not go so fast. I want to eat you."

The pancake said, "I did not stop for the old woman, I did not stop for the seven children, I did not stop for the old man, I did not stop for the hen, I can not stop for you."

And it rolled away.

It rolled, and it rolled, and it rolled.
