Next she tasted the porridge of the Middle-sized Bear, but that was too cold for her. But she was an impudent, rude little girl, and so she set about helping herself.įirst she tasted the porridge of the Great Big Bear, and that was too hot for her. If she had been a well-brought-up little girl she would have waited till the Bears came home, and then, perhaps, they would have asked her to breakfast for they were good Bears-a little rough or so, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable. So Goldilocks opened the door and went in and well pleased was she when she saw the porridge on the table. The door was not fastened, because the Bears were good Bears, who did nobody any harm, and never suspected that anybody would harm them. Then seeing nobody in the house she lifted the latch. And then she peeped in at the keyhole, for she was not at all a well-brought-up little girl. And while they were away a little girl called Goldilocks, who lived at the other side of the wood and had been sent on an errand by her mother, passed by the house, and looked in at the window. One day, after they had made the porridge for their breakfast, and poured it into their porridge-bowls, they walked out into the wood while the porridge was cooling, that they might not burn their mouths by beginning too soon, for they were polite, well-brought-up Bears. And they had each a bed to sleep in a little bed for the Little Wee Bear and a middle-sized bed for the Middle-sized Bear and a great bed for the Great Big Bear. And they had each a chair to sit in a little chair for the Little Wee Bear and a middle-sized chair for the Middle-sized Bear and a great chair for the Great Big Bear.

They had each a bowl for their porridge a little bowl for the Little Wee Bear and a middle-sized bowl for the Middle-sized Bear and a great bowl for the Great Big Bear. One of them was a Little Wee Bear, and one was a Middle-sized Bear, and the other was a Great Big Bear. Once upon a time there were three Bears, who lived together in a house of their own, in a wood.
