Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear lived in the forest.
"Ring," went the telephone.
"Come to my house for lunch," asked Auntie Bear.
"Yes, we will come," answered Mama Bear.
She set out three bowls of stew to cool for supper.
Then, the bears left to visit Auntie Bear.
A little girl named Goldilocks lived near the forest.
She went for a walk and came to the bears' house.
No one was home so she went inside.
She sat in a large chair.
"This chair is too hard!" she complained.
She tried the next chair, but it was too soft.
The smallest chair was just right.
She sat down, and the chair broke with a crash.
Goldilocks saw the three bowls of stew.
The big bowl was much too hot!
"Maybe this bowl will be cooler," she said.
But the next bowl was too cold.
She grabbed the smallest bowl and gobbled it down.
It was just right.
Goldilocks yawned and climbed up the stairs.
In the bedroom, there were three beds.
She tried the large bed first, but it was too hard.
The next bed was too soft.
She lay down on the smallest bed.
"This is just right."
She sighed and fell asleep.
When the bears arrived home, Papa Bear growled,
"Somebody's been sitting on my chair!"
Mama Bear said, "Somebody's been sitting on my chair!"
Then Baby Bear cried and said,
"Somebody's been sitting on my chair, and now it's all broken!"
In the kitchen, Papa Bear looked at his bowl of stew.
He growled, "Somebody's been eating my stew!"
Mama Bear said, "Somebody's been eating my stew!"
Baby Bear cried and said,
"Somebody's been eating my stew, and they ate it all up!"
The three bears climbed the stairs.
Papa Bear growled, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!"
Mama Bear said, "Somebody's been sleeping in my bed!"
Baby Bear cried and said,
"Somebody’s been sleeping in my bed, and there she is!"
Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears.
She screamed and hopped out of bed in fright.
She ran down the stairs and out the door.
She ran through the forest.
And she ran all the way home!
