Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks who was
a handful.

She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house
that was
in mint condition
. She wanted to sell Girl Guide cookies so she made a
cold call.
When no one answered, she walked right in because she always had been a
popcorn brain.

Everyone knows that a little girl shouldn't walk into a strangers house. At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry
and she usually ate nothing but
junk food. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.
"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.
So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.
"This porridge is too cold," she said
So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.
"Ahhh, this porridge is just right the others were just
a little off," she said happily and she ate it all up
and it really
hit the spot.
After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.
"This chair is too big and I just
couldn't stand
sitting in it!"

she exclaimed.
So she sat in the second chair.
"
In heaven's name,
this chair is too big, too !" she whined.
So she tried the last and smallest chair.
"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!
Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to find the
loo
and the bedroom. She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.
In the meantime,

as she was sleeping, the three bears came home.
"Someone's been eating my porridge
heads will roll
," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair and let me
make myself clear
heads will roll," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair and
rats
they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.
They were now
hot on the trail
and decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.
Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears she was
in a stew.

She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks
,the
bad apple
ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest.

And she never returned to the home of the three bears
because she had been
nuts
to go into their house uninvited.
