The gingerbread man is a fairy tale, not a fable. Fairy Tales often contain magical elements, talking animals, and fantastical situations, while fables typically involve animals or objects that speak and teach a moral lesson. The story of the gingerbread man is a classic fairy tale about a cookie that comes to life and runs away from its creator.
