She opens the door and goes inside. Three bears live in this house. There is Father Bear, Mother Bear, and Baby Bear. The bears are not home. They are on a walk. Goldilocks sees three bowls of porridge on the table. She tastes the first bowl. It is too hot. She tastes the second bowl. It is too cold. She tastes the third bowl. It is just right. She eats all of the porridge. Then she sees three chairs. She sits in the first chair. It is too big. She sits in the second chair. It is also too big. She sits in the third chair. It is just right. But the chair breaks! Goldilocks is tired. She goes upstairs. She sees three beds. She lies in the first bed. It is too hard. She lies in the second bed. It is too soft. She lies in the third bed. It is just right. She falls asleep. The three bears come home. Someone eats my porridge! says Father Bear. Someone eats my porridge! says Mother Bear. Someone eats my porridge, and it is all gone! says Baby Bear. The bears go upstairs. Someone is in my bed! says Father Bear. Someone is in my bed! says Mother Bear. Someone is in my bed, and she is still here! says Baby Bear. Goldilocks wakes up and sees the three bears. She is scared. She jumps out of the window and runs away. She never comes back to the house again.
