Goldilocks
and the Three Bears
There
was a bear family who lived in a little cottage in a wood. There was a
great big Papa Bear, a medium size Momma Bear and a tiny little Baby
Bear.
One morning Momma Bear cooked them some porridge for breakfast. But the
porridge was too hot, so the three bears decided to walk in the woods
while it cooled.
A little girl called Goldilocks came along. She was picking flowers and
had wandered into the woods. When she saw the three bears' cottage she
smiled and clapped her hands.
'How pretty!' she cried. 'I wonder who lives here?'
She stood on her toes and looked in the window. There wasn't anybody
home, so Goldilocks opened the door and went inside!
She saw the table with three bowls of porridge: a great big bowl for
Papa Bear, a medium size bowl for Momma Bear and a tiny little bowl for
Baby Bear.
'Oh, that porridge smells good!' Goldilocks said.
She was a little hungry so she picked up a spoon and tasted the
porridge in the geat big bowl.
'Ouch!' she cried and dropped the spoon. 'That porridge is too hot!'
She tasted the porridge in the medium size bowl. But that porridge was
too cold.
Then she tasted the porridge in the tiny little bowl.
'Mmmmmm!' she said. 'This porridge is just right!'
So she ate it all!
Then Goldilocks saw the three chairs in front of the fire: a great big
chair for Papa Bear, a medium size chair for Momma Bear and a tiny
little chair for Baby Bear.
'Oh, it would be nice to sit down a little!' Goldilocks thought.
So she climbed into the geat big chair.
'Oh, no!' she said. 'That chair is too hard!'
Next she sat in Momma Bear's medium size chair.
'Oh, no!' she said. 'That chair is too soft!'
Then she sat in Baby Bear's tiny little chair.
'Aaaaaah!' she said with a smile. 'This chair is just right!'
But there was a loud CRAAAACK and the little chair broke right through!
Goldilocks stood up. Then she climbed upstairs to the bedroom. There
she saw three beds.
'Oh!' she said yawning. 'I'm sleepy!'
So she climbed into Papa Bear's great big bed. But she quickly jumped
down.
'That bed is too hard!' she said.
Then she tried Momma Bear's medium size bed. But it was too soft.
So she climbed into Baby Bear's tiny little bed. It was just right.
Soon Goldilocks fell asleep.
A little later the three bears came back from their walk. They were
very hungry and wanted to eat all the nice bowls of porridge.
Suddenly Papa Bear cried out in hid great big voice.
'Somebody has been eating my porridge!'
Then Momma Bear cried out in her medium size voice.
'Somebody has been eating my porridge!'
And Baby Bear cried out in his tiny little voice.
'Somebody has been eating my porridge! AND IT'S GONE!'
The three bears saw their chairs near the fire.
'Somebody has been sitting in my chair!' said Papa Bear in his great
big voice.
'Somebody has been sitting in my chair!' said
Momma Bear in her medium size voice.
'Somebody has been sitting in my chair!' cried
Baby Bear in his tiny little voice. 'AND NOW IT'S BROKEN!'
Then the tree bears went upstairs to the bedroom.
'Somebody has been sleeping in my bed!' shouted Papa Bear in his great
big voice.
'Somebody has been sleeping in my bed!' cried
Momma Bear in her medium size voice.
'Somebody has been sleeping in my bed!' squeaked
Baby Bear in his tiny little voice. 'AND HERE SHE IS!'
Just then Goldilocks woke up. When she saw the three bears around her,
she jumped out of the bed, ran down the stairs and out of the door. She
didn't stop until she was back home.
The three bears never saw Goldilocks again.
