The Three Bears

A family of three bears goes for a morning walk while their porridge cools. During their absence, Goldilocks visits their house and eats the porridge, sits in the bears' chairs, and takes a nap in their beds. When Goldilocks wakes up to three bears staring at her, she is so frightened she runs away as quickly as she can.
