Goldilocks and the Three Bears

In this version of the classic fairy tale, Goldilocks is portrayed as a sweet, polite, and curious child, who loved to wander and explore. She comes upon an unlocked cottage and knocks, but the smell or porridge lures her inside. She calls out to see if anyone is home first, then she enters and sees the porridge already in bowls and wonders why breakfast would be set out and no one home to eat it. She doesn’t think anyone would mind if she ate it. Afterwards she decides to sit down and wait for the people and tries the chairs, finding the smallest one perfect for her. But it broke. Now she knows she must stay and say she’s sorry about the chair. She wanders upstairs and finds the beds and falls asleep in the smallest one. While asleep, the three bears, first time they’ve been mentioned, come home and discover the eaten porridge, broken chair, and Goldilocks asleep. She awakens, sees the bears, screams, and runs all the way home, never to go there again. Goldilocks is actually a nice little girl and so are the bears. Again, Little Hare has produced a quality version of a popular fairy tale making the characters likable and nothing scary about it.
