The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

At one time, in a dense green forest, three bears lived: the papa bear, the mama bear, and the baby bear. Each bear was different in several ways: big and strong for a papa bear, cute for a mama bear and caring for others, and small and energetic for a baby beer. They shared a small cottage among the treetops where they spent their time outdoors.

Every morning, Mama Bear would prepare a pot of hot porridge for breakfast. The porridge was too hot to eat on that particular day. The bears decided to take a walk in the forest and cool it down.

The curious girl was walking in the Goldilocks forest. Her golden hair shimmered under the sun’s rays, and she was known for her adventures. She came to a nice bear cottage.

Goldilocks was surprised and knocked on the door. When no one answered, she became more curious. She opened the door and went inside. She could smell the porridge in the air, which took her to the table with three bowls.

First he tasted papa beer porridge. “oh! This porridge is so hot!” He said. Then he tasted Mama Bear porridge. “brrrr! This porridge is so cool!” He said trembling. Eventually, she tasted baby beer porridge. “mum! That’s right!” He said laughing, and he ate it all.
Happy and Goldilocks wandered through the room. She saw three chairs and got on Papa Bear’s chair because it was too big. Then she sat on Mama Bear’s chair. It was very soft. She eventually sat in a baby beer chair. It was perfectly fine — until it broke with a loud noise! “Oh no!” He said looking at the pieces lying on the floor.

Upstairs, Goldilocks sets out in search of bedrooms. Papa Bear’s bed was very difficult. “Not comfortable,” she said. Mama Bear’s bed was very soft. “I can’t sleep on it!” He complained. But when he tried a bed of baby beer, it was just fine. Soon, he snuggled under the cover and fell asleep fast.
After a while the three bears returned home. The moment he stepped into his house, he felt that something was not right.

“Someone has eaten my porridge!” Papa Bear said while staring at his empty bowl.

“Someone’s sitting in my chair!” Mama Bear said looking at the dirt in her room.

“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed!” squeaked Baby Bear, pointing at Goldilocks, who slept soundly. Meanwhile, Goldilocks woke up in an instant and saw the three staring at her. She became scared and jumped out of Baby Bear’s bed, ran as fast as her legs could carry her from the cottage until she reached home safely. From then on, Goldilocks never forgot the important lesson of not taking other people’s things. And the three bears continued to live in their cozy cottage, never forgetting to lock the front door when going out.
