Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Once upon a time, in a forest far far away, there lived three bears. There was the mother bear, who was medium sized, a father bear who was very big, and a baby bear, who was very little. They lived in a pretty little house in the forest.

One day, the mother and father bear made porridge. It was very hot. So they decided to go for a walk in the forest till it cooled. They closed the door of their house and walked out.

A girl was walking in the forest too. She had long golden curls. So people called her Goldilocks. She saw the pretty little house and wanted to go inside.

She opened the door and walked in, because she was not a very polite child, and did not mind walking into someone else’s house without permission.

She saw three bowls of porridge on the table, one big, one medium and one small. She felt hungry. So she tested the biggest bowl. It was too hot. She tasted the medium sized bowl. It was too cold. She tasted the smallest bowl. It was just right. Yummmm. She finished all the porridge in the smallest bowl.

Then she went into the hall. She saw three chairs. She felt tired. She sat on the biggest chair. It was too hard. She sat on the medium sized chair. It was too soft. She sat on the smallest chair. It was just right, not too hard and not too soft. But she was too heavy for the chair. So it broke.

Then Goldilocks went upstairs. She saw three beds there. She felt sleepy. The large bed was too high for her. The medium bed was too low for her. The smallest bed was just right. She climbed on it and it was very comfortable so she fell asleep.

The bears came back, hungry after their walk. They went to the kitchen. “Someone has been at my porridge,” growled father bear. “Someone has been at my porridge,” growled mother bear. “Someone has been at my porridge – and eaten it all up!” cried baby bear.

Then they went to the hall. “Someone has sat in my chair,” growled father bear. “Someone has sat in my chair,” growled mother bear. “Someone has sat on my chair and broken it!” wailed baby bear.

Then they went upstairs. “Someone has slept in my bed,” growled father bear. “Someone has slept in my bed,” growled mother bear. Baby bear went to his bed. “Someone has climbed in to my bed and is still there!”

Goldilocks woke up at the noise. She saw three bears staring down at her. She leapt up and ran downstairs. She jumped through an open window and ran away. She didn’t say thank you or sorry or anything. She was not a very polite girl.
