Goldilocks used to live with her parents in a cabin near the forest. One day
before lunch, she decided to go for a walk. She strolled down the lane that led
to the forest and came across a cottage. Feeling intrigued, she decided to
check whose house it was. She knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Then she decided to go in herself and check. Once she came into the cottage,
she saw three soup bowls were kept on the table. Feeling hungry, she drank
the soup out of the smallest bowl. She saw a flight of stairs that led to a room
above. She decided to go and see the rooms. On reaching the rooms, she
saw there were three beds. Feeling sleepy with all the walking and hot soup,
she decided to take a nap and slept on the smallest bed. When she woke up,
she saw three bears standing in front of her, and the smallest bear among
them was crying loudly. Terrified, she started screaming and ran past the bear
family to reach her home.
