Goldilocks and The Three Bears Narrative Text
Class : XI F-1
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. 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. And
then she peeped in at the keyhole, for she was not at all a well-brought-up little girl. Then
seeing nobody in the house she lifted the latch. The door was not fastened, because the Bears
were good Bears, who did nobody any harm, and never suspected that anybody would harm
them. So Goldilocks opened the door and went in; and well pleased was she when she saw
the porridge on the table. 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. But she was an impudent, rude little girl, and so she set about helping
herself.
First she tasted the porridge of the Great Big Bear, and that was too hot for her. Next
she tasted the porridge of the Middle-sized Bear, but that was too cold for her. And then she
went to the porridge of the Little Wee Bear, and tasted it, and that was neither too hot nor too
cold, but just right, and she liked it so well that she ate it all up, every bit!
Then Goldilocks, who was tired, for she had been catching butterflies instead of
running on her errand, sate down in the chair of the Great Big Bear, but that was too hard for
her. And then she sate down in the chair of the Middle-sized Bear, and that was too soft for
her. But when she sat down in the chair of the Little Wee Bear, that was neither too hard nor
too soft, but just right. So she seated herself in it, and there she sate till the bottom of the
chair came out, and down she came, plump upon the ground; and that made her very cross,
for she was a bad-tempered little girl.
Now, being determined to rest, Goldilocks went upstairs into the bedchamber in
which the Three Bears slept. And first she lay down upon the bed of the Great Big Bear, but
that was too high at the head for her. And next she lay down upon the bed of the Middle-sized
Bear, and that was too high at the foot for her. And then she lay down upon the bed of the
Little Wee Bear, and that was neither too high at the head nor at the foot, but just right. So
she covered herself up comfortably, and lay there till she fell fast asleep.
By this time the Three Bears thought their porridge would be cool enough for them to
eat it properly; so they came home to breakfast. Now careless Goldilocks had left the spoon
of the Great Big Bear standing in his porridge.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN AT MY PORRIDGE!" said the Great Big Bear in his great,
rough, gruff voice.
Then the Middle-sized Bear looked at his porridge and saw the spoon was standing in it too.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN AT MY PORRIDGE!" said the Middle-sized Bear in his middle-
sized voice.
Then the Little Wee Bear looked at his, and there was the spoon in the porridge-bowl,
but the porridge was all gone!
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN AT MY PORRIDGE, AND HAS EATEN IT ALL UP!" said the
Little Wee Bear in his little wee voice.
Upon this the Three Bears, seeing that some one had entered their house, and eaten up
the Little Wee Bear's breakfast, began to look about them. Now the careless Goldilocks had
not put the hard cushion straight when she rose from the chair of the Great Big Bear.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR!" said the Great Big Bear in his great,
rough, gruff voice. And the careless Goldilocks had squatted down the soft cushion of the
Middle-sized Bear.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR!" said the Middle-sized Bear in his
middle-sized voice.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY CHAIR, AND HAS SATE THE BOTTOM
THROUGH!" said the Little Wee Bear in his little wee voice.
Then the Three Bears thought they had better make further search in case it was a
burglar, so they went upstairs into their bedchamber. Now Goldilocks had pulled the pillow
of the Great Big Bear out of its place.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED!" said the Great Big Bear in his great,
rough, gruff voice. And Goldilocks had pulled the bolster of the Middle-sized Bear out of its
place.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED!" said the Middle-sized Bear in his middle-
sized voice.
But when the Little Wee Bear came to look at his bed, there was the bolster in its
place! And the pillow was in its place upon the bolster! There was Goldilocks's yellow
head—which was not in its place, for she had no business there.
"SOMEBODY HAS BEEN LYING IN MY BED,—AND HERE SHE IS STILL!" said the
Little Wee Bear in his little wee voice. Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She
screamed, “Ahhhh!” And she jumped up and ran out of the door. The three bears never saw
that rude little girl again.
The moral of the story is the need to respect the privacy and property of
others and how your actions hurt others. What Goldilocks does by entering another’s house
and using their property is wrong. She doesn’t think about how her actions may hurt the owners
of the house even for a moment. She should have waited for the owners if she really wanted to
enter the house. When she enters the bears’ house and eats their food and uses their furniture,
she is also very selfish. The fact that she tries on everything, the three bowls of porridge, three
chairs and the three beds illustrates how self-centric she is. In conclusion, the story Goldilocks
and the three bears illustrate the need to respect others’ privacy and property.
Synopsis
There were three bears who lived together in a house of their own, in a wood. One
of them was a little wee bear, and one was a middle sized bear, and the other was a great big
bear. One day, after they had made the porridge bowls, they walked out into the wood while
the porridge was cooling.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. she went for a walk
in the forest. Quite quickly, she saw a house. She knocked on the door and, when no one
answered, she walked inside.
On the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was
hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl, but it was too hot. She tasted the porridge
from the second bowl, but it was too cold. Then, she tasted the last bowl of porridge. “This
porridge is just right,” she said happily and she ate it all.
After she’d eaten the porridge, she went into the living room. She saw three
chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet, but it was too big. Then, she sat
in the second chair, but it was still too big. So she tried the last and smallest chair. ”
This chair is just right,” she said happily. But when she sat on the chair to rest, it
broke into pieces! Crack!
Goldilocks went into the bedroom next. She lay down on the first bed, but it was too
hard. Then she lay on the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down on the third bed
and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep. ZZZZ… As Goldilocks was sleeping, the three
bears came home.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge,” said the Daddy bear and Mommy bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair,” said the Daddy bear and Mommy bear.
When they got upstairs to the bedroom, Daddy bear shouted, “Someone’s been
sleeping in my bed,”
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed, too” said the Mommy bear“. And someone is
still sleeping in my bed!” said Little wee bear. Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears.
She screamed, “Ahhhh!” And she jumped up and ran out of the door. The three bears never
saw that rude little girl again.
