GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE BEARS
In a dense forest, there lived in a little cottage the family of father bear, mother bear and baby bear.
What a pretty cottage it was, with bright
yellow curtains, a pretty red rug, and lovely
flowers growing outside.
Now the bear family loved porridge, and Mama
bear made it every day.
Mama bear, is the porridge ready?
Oh yes, I am just bringing it to the table.
Ah!
That smells nice, but I think the porridge
is very hot!
I will certainly burn my tongue if I eat it
now.
What shall we do now?
I know!
It is such a beautiful day, let us go for
a walk, and when we return, the porridge should
have cooled down by then.
Come on, baby bear, put on your mittens and
bonnet, we are going for a walk.
Oooooh, I love to go for walks.
Maybe I will find some honey to lick.
Wait for me papa and mama, I’m just coming.
Yes darling, we are waiting.
Make it quick.
And so the bear family went out into the forest
for a walk.
Now on the edge of the forest, there lived
a young girl who had beautiful long golden
hair, and everyone called her Goldilocks.
She loved to spend her time with the little
animals in the forest, the birds and butterflies,
and the tall green trees and colourful flowers
all around.
One morning, she got ready as usual to go
out.
Mother, I am going for a walk in the forest.
Oh, Goldilocks, see if you can find some berries
there.
I was thinking of making a nice berry pie
for dinner tonight.
But don’t go too far dear, I’ve heard
there are some bears living in the forest.
Oooh, berry pie!
I just love it!
I know a place where there are some sweet
blue berries growing.
It is not too far, so don’t worry mother,
I’ll be back soon.
So Goldilocks set off towards the forest.
How she loved to go there!
The flowers, the little rabbits, and oh, the
colourful butterflies, they all made Goldilocks
so happy!
I think I will take some of these pretty pink
flowers for mother.
I know she will love them.
They will look so pretty on the table.
(La la, la la la,
I wonder where my friends are?
The little bunnies that go hop hop hop,
Naughty monkeys that suddenly from trees drop.
Beautiful butterflies flitting from flower
to flower
And then flying away far, far, far).
where are all my little friends, I can’t see any of
them today.
So looking for the rabbits and the beautiful
butterflies, Goldilocks kept going farther
and farther into the forest.
After walking for some time, Goldilocks thought
she was lost.
Where am I?
I seem to have come very far, and I promised
mama that I would not.
(Yawn) I am so tired!
Suddenly, Goldilocks saw something a little
ahead.
What is this?
A cottage in the middle of 
the forest? Whose can it be?
Goldilocks went near and peeped through the
window, but could see no one.
I wonder if I could rest here for a few minutes.
Hello, hello, anyone there?
There doesn’t seem to be anyone around.
Oh, the door is open!
Slowly, Goldilocks pushed open the door, looked
around, and then went into the cottage.
This is indeed a very lovely cottage.
Ah!
I smell something very nice, and I am suddenly
feeling very hungry!
There on the table, Goldilocks saw three bowls
that had porridge in them.
This is a nice big bowl, I will have the porridge
from this one.
Oooh! It is so hot, I think I have burned my tongue!
Uf uf uf!
After a few minutes, Goldilocks tried the
porridge in the second bowl.
This is too cold, it is not tasting nice.
Then she went to the last bowl, which was
the smallest.
I like this porridge.
I hope no one will mind my having it, I am
so hungry.
That was so yummy!
After finishing off all the porridge in the
small bowl, Goldilocks started feeling drowsy.
I think I will rest here for sometime and
then go home.
Oh, this chair is too big, it is not at all
comfortable.
So saying, she went to the next chair, which
was Mother Bear’s chair, but found that
chair too big also.
I think the small chair should be fine.
But as Goldilocks sat down on Baby bear’s
chair, the chair broke and she fell down.
Ouch! That hurt!
And the chair is broken!
Oh, I hope the owner will not be very angry.
Goldilocks tried her best to put the chair
back together again, but could not do so.
I have been a bad girl today.
I promised mama that I would not go far and
I did.
Now I have eaten someone’s porridge and
broken their chair.
Goldilocks was feeling very very sorry for
being a naughty child.
She decided that she would wait for a while
till the owner came back so that she could
say sorry to him.
I do hope the owner of this cottage will be
kind and forgive me.
I really did not mean to eat his porridge
and break his chair.
Goldilocks went to the window to see if anyone
was around, but she could see no one.
I will wait for a few minutes more only, otherwise
it will become dark and I won’t be able
find my way back home.
Oh, mama is going to be so angry with me!
Goldilocks looked around for some place where
she could wait, and wandered to the next room,
where there were three beds.
I am so tired, and the beds look so inviting.
I’ll just rest here for a few minutes.
She went to the largest bed and lay down.
This bed is so hard, I don’t think I will
be comfortable here.
Goldilocks got out of Father Bear’s bed
and went to Mother Bear’s bed.
This bed is too soft, I will just sink into
it.
Let me try the last bed.
Goldilocks then went to Baby Bear’s bed.
Aaah!
This is so comfortable and nice.
I will lie down for just a few minutes and
then go back home.
I will have to go and say sorry to mama also
for being so late.
Though Goldilocks thought of resting for a
few minutes only, she was so tired that she
soon fell fast asleep.
Soon after, the three bears came back from
their walk.
I’m hungry now after the long walk, and
the porridge must have cooled by now.
What’s this?
Someone has been having my porridge!
Someone has been having my porridge too!
Oh!
Someone has finished all my porridge!
What will I eat now?
Now, now, baby, don’t worry, I will give
you some more.
But who could have come here?
No one ever comes so deep into the forest.
Humph!
Someone has been sitting on my chair!
Mother bear and baby bear hurry to look at
their chairs.
I think someone has been sitting on my chair
too!
Oh mama, papa, look!
Someone has broken my chair!
Boo hoo hoo!
Boo hoo hoo!
Who could it be?
Lets look around and see if there is someone
in our house.
They all go to the next room.
I see someone has been sleeping on my bed.
And someone has been sleeping on my bed too.
Oh look, mama, papa, there is someone sleeping
on my bed!
I’m sure this is the baddie who ate my porridge
and broke my chair.
Come on papa, punish, punish!
The loud sounds of baby bear made Goldilocks
wake up with a start, and she got the fright
of her life!
She jumped out of the bed, ran to the open
window, jumped out, and ran away as fast as
her little legs could carry her!
Oh, the poor thing, we really scared her.
She ate my porridge, she broke my chair.
She is horrible!
Oh, come on, baby.
You can always get more porridge and a new
chair, but that poor little thing got so scared,
I don’t think we will ever see her again!
Goldilocks did not stop running till she reached
her house.
She had never imagined that the cottage where
she decided to rest belonged to bears!
Mother, mother!
What is the matter my dear?
You are so late and I was so worried.
Why are you panting like this?
Oh mama, I saw some bears in the forest, and
I was so scared that I just ran and ran.
I dropped all the berries I had collected
and even some pretty flowers I had picked for you
Oh, my child!
Promise me you will never go so far again.
I promise mother, I will never do it again.
Now go wash your hands and have your dinner,
and then go right up to bed.
You’ve had a nasty fright, but a good night’s
sleep will make you feel better.
I will never ever disobey my mother again.
I am lucky that I managed to escape just in
time!
Of course, Goldilocks did not know that the
bears were very friendly and would not have
harmed her, but she did learn a very good
lesson that day, didn’t she?
