New Version: Goldilocks and the three Bears

The story of “Goldilocks and the three bears” that you have read many times is not the real story of “Goldilocks and the three bears.” The real story of “Goldilocks and the three bears” is the one we are going to tell you now.

Once upon a time there was a little girl named Goldilocks.

Goldilocks lived in the forest with her mother.

One day Goldilocks´ mother had to go shopping downtown. She told Goldilocks, “I’ll be back soon, don´t leave the house, stay inside.”

“Bye Mommy!” said Goldilocks. She had a very sweet voice.

“Bye!”answered her mother.

Goldilocks was eating a cake that her mom had prepared for her, when suddenly someone knocked at the door.

“Hello, is anybody home?”somebody asked in a deep voice.

Goldilocks was scared, so she didn´t answer.

A less deep voice said, “Don’t be scared, we are your new neighbors.” Immediately the little girl remembered that a new family had moved next door. What she didn´t know was that it was a family of bears.

She heard a squeaky voice asking her to open the door.

Goldilocks looked out of the window. There were two big brown bears and a tiny one.

She was very scared but also curious and excited. She ran to hide in the kitchen. While she was hiding she heard noises. She realized

that the bears were coming in. Had Mummy left the door unlocked? Were the bears planning to eat her up? Too many questions for a little girl and too frightening too.

She heard them coming towards the kitchen.

“I am so hungry “sobbed the tiny bear whose name was Henry.

“Henry you are not at home, you can’t just eat everything you want,” said Momma bear in her less deep voice.

“But I am REALLY hungry and nobody is in here so I could eat a piece of that awesome cake that is on the kitchen table,” the little one insisted.

“He´s right”, said Papa bear in his deep voice “and it really looks delicious”.

“OK, but just a little bit”. Mamma bear agreed in her less deep voice.

Henry grabbed a piece of cake and ate it.

Goldilocks who was watching the whole scene behind the kitchen curtains was angry because they were eating her cake, the one her Mummy had made for her with so much love. Losing her fear completely, she went out of her hiding place and asked in her sweet voice. Although she was angry her voice was still sweet “Why are you eating my cake?”

The three bears looked surprised.

“Sorry, we didn’t know there was somebody here. We knocked at the door and nobody answered.

We are your new neighbors and we wanted to bring you a gift,” said Papa bear in his deep voice, Mamma bear in her less deep voice and baby bear in his squeaky voice.

Goldilocks, surprised and ashamed, said,” OH thank you very much I’m really sorry; I thought you were going to eat me up.”

“What? No, we are peaceful, vegetarian bears. We don’t eat meat,” explained Mamma bear in her less deep voice.

“Open the present,” said Henry in his squeaky voice.

It was a beautiful blue box full of candies. Goldilocks thanked them and invited the bear family to eat what was left of the cake. She asked them to come back the next day to meet her mother and promised to play with baby bear every day after school.They all lived happily ever after.
