Once upon a time there were three bears who lived in a cottage in the woods. There was a great big Daddy Bear, a middle-sized Mummy Bear and a teenie weenie Baby Bear.
Daddy Bear had a big bowl to eat from, a big chair to sit on and a big bed to sleep in. Mummy bear had a medium bowl to eat from, a medium chair to sit on and a medium bed to sleep in, and Baby Bear had a teenie weenie bowl to eat from, a teenie weenie chair to sit on and a teenie weenie bed to sleep in.
One day Mummy Bear cooked everyone porridge for breakfast, but they could not eat it because it was too hot! So, while it cooled down, they decided to go for a walk.
Goldilocks was a little girl with long, blonde hair. That is why everyone called her Goldilocks.
One day Goldilocks went for a walk. Her mother told her not to go into the forest by herself as she would get lost, but Goldilocks never listened to her mother.
Goldilocks walked through the forest and sure enough after a little while she was lost! Tired and hungry Goldilocks walked on and on until finally she saw the three bears’ cottage. She knocked on the door but when no one answered she decided to have a look inside.
Inside the cottage she found the three bowls of porridge. Very hungry, Goldilocks sat down to eat. First, she tried the biggest bowl of porridge. “Ouch! this porridge is too hot!” she said. She then tried the porridge in the medium-sized bowl. “Urgh! This porridge is too cold!” so she tried the porridge in the tiny weenie bowl. “Mmmm! This porridge is just right!” and she ate it all up!
Goldilocks then looked around the cottage and found three chairs. She tried sitting in the biggest chair, but it was too big. Then she tried sitting in the medium-sized chair, but it was too uncomfortable. Finally, she tried the teenie weenie chair. “This chair is just right!” she said but really, she was too big for the chair and it broke into pieces!
Goldilocks became sleepy and went to look upstairs. She found a room with three beds and tried the biggest bed. “Ouch!” she said, “This bed is too hard!” She then tried the medium-sized bed. “Oh No! This bed is too soft!” So finally she tried the teenie weenie bed. “Mmm, this bed is just right!” It was so comfortable she lay down on it and quickly fell asleep!
A little bit later the three bears came home and noticed someone had been there. “Who’s been eating my porridge!” said Daddy Bear. “Who’s been eating my porridge!” said Mummy Bear and “Who’s been eating my porridge”, said little Baby Bear, “And they’ve eaten it all up!”
The three bears then saw the chairs. “Who’s been sitting in my chair!” said Daddy Bear. “Who’s been sitting in my chair!” said Mummy Bear. “Who’s been sitting in my chair”, said little Baby Bear, “And they’ve broken it!”
The three bears went to look upstairs. “Who’s been sleeping in my bed!” said Daddy Bear. “Who’s been sleeping in my bed!” said Mummy Bear and “Who’s been sleeping in my bed!” said little Baby Bear, and they’re still here!”
Goldilocks woke up. She saw the three bears and let out a giant SCREAM! She jumped out of bed, ran down the stairs and out of the house as fast as she could. She ran and ran and ran until finally she saw her house.
On that day Goldilocks promised her mother that she would never go into the forest by herself again. And that was the last the three bears ever saw of Goldilocks.
