Once upon a time, in a cozy little cottage in the woods, there lived three bears: Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. They were a happy family and loved their home very much. One sunny morning, Mama Bear made a big pot of porridge for breakfast. It smelled delicious! But the porridge was too hot to eat, so they decided to take a walk in the woods while it cooled down.
As they were walking away, a little girl named Goldilocks wandered through the forest. She was curious and loved to explore. When she saw the little cottage, she was intrigued and decided to take a look inside.
Goldilocks knocked on the door, but no one answered. She pushed the door open and stepped inside. “Hello?” she called out. There was no response.
Inside the cozy cottage, Goldilocks saw a table set with three bowls of porridge. She was very hungry, so she decided to taste the porridge.
First, she tried Papa Bear‘s porridge.
“Ouch! This porridge is too hot!” she exclaimed, blowing on her fingers. Next, she tried Mama Bear‘s porridge. “Yuck! This porridge is too cold.”
Finally, she tried Baby Bear‘s porridge. “Mmm, this porridge is just right!” she said with a smile, and she ate it all up.
After eating the porridge, Goldilocks felt tired and wanted to sit down. She saw three chairs by the fireplace. She sat in Papa Bear‘s chair, but it was too hard. Then she sat in Mama Bear‘s chair, but it was too soft. Finally, she sat in Baby Bear‘s chair. “Ah, this chair is just right,” she said, but just as she got comfortable, the chair broke into pieces! “Oh no!” Goldilocks cried out.
Feeling even more tired, Goldilocks decided to find a bed to take a nap. She went upstairs and found three beds. She lay down in Papa Bear‘s bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay down in Mama Bear‘s bed, but it was too soft. Finally, she lay down in Baby Bear‘s bed. “Ah, this bed is just right,” she said, and she fell asleep.
A little while later, the three bears returned home from their walk. They were looking forward to their breakfast. But when they entered the cottage, Papa Bear noticed something was wrong.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge!” Papa Bear growled.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge too!” Mama Bear said.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge, and they ate it all up!” Baby Bear cried.
Next, they noticed the chairs by the fireplace.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair!” Papa Bear growled.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair too!” Mama Bear said.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair, and now it’s broken!” Baby Bear cried.
The bears decided to check upstairs. When they reached the bedroom, Papa Bear growled,
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed!” Papa Bear said.
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed too!” Mama Bear said.
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed, and there she is!” Baby Bear exclaimed.
The sound of the bears’ voices woke Goldilocks up. She saw the three bears staring at her and was so scared that she jumped out of the bed and ran out of the house as fast as she could. She ran all the way back home, promising herself that she would never enter someone else’s house without permission again.
The three bears looked at each other and laughed. They were glad that Goldilocks had learned an important lesson about respecting others’ belongings. They fixed Baby Bear’s chair, made more porridge, and settled down to enjoy the rest of their day.
And from that day on, Goldilocks always remembered to be respectful and considerate of others, and she never forgot the day she met the three bears.
Moral of the Story:
Always respect other people’s belongings and ask for permission before using something that isn’t yours.
