In this frosty spoof of the tale of the gingerbread boy, a mother makes her thirsty boy an ice cube for his lemonade.
The ice cube escapes from the freezer and runs out the kitchen door.He has big plans-he wants to grow as big as an iceberg so he can bump into boats.
'Can't catch me-I'm off to the sea,' the ice cube says to the boy, an ant, a mouse, a cat, a goose, a man, and a dog as he leads his pursuers on a merry chase to the sea. In the end, the ice cube finds that just desserts are not always sweet.And a thirsty boy discovers that mothers really do know best.
