Papa bear porridge


Goldilocks & the Three Bears

There was once a family of bears who lived in a cosy cottage in the woods. There was a great big Papa Bear, a medium-size Momma Bear, and a little tiny baby bear.

One morning Mama Bear cooked them some porridge for breakfast. As the porridge was too hot to eat, the three bears decided to take a walk in the woods while it cooled.

They had not been gone long when a little girl named Goldilocks came along. She had been picking flowers and had wandered into the woods. When she saw the three bears cottage, she smiled and clapped her hands. “How pretty!” she cried. “I wonder who lives there?” She stood on her toes and peaked in the window. There didn’t seem to be anyone home, so Goldilocks opened the door and went right inside!

The first thing she saw was the table set with three bowls of porridge; a great big bowl for Papa Bear, a medium-size bowl for Momma Bear, and a tiny little bowl for baby bear. “Oh, that porridge smells good!” Goldilocks said. Then, as she was feeling a little hungry, she picked up a spoon and tasted the porridge in the Great Big Bowl.

“OUCH!” she cried, dropping the spoon. “That porridge is MUCH too hot!”

She tasted the porridge in the medium-size bowl. But that porridge was MUCH too cold.

Then she tasted the porridge in the tiny little bowl. “Mmmmmm,” she said. “This porridge is JUST right!” so she ate it all up!

Then Goldilocks saw the three chairs set before the fire; a great big chair for Papa Bear, a medium-size chair for Mamma Bear, and a tiny little chair for Baby Bear. “Oh, it would be nice to sit down for a while!” Goldilocks thought.

So she climbed into the great big chair that belonged to Papa Bear. “Oh, no!” she said. “That chair is MUCH too hard.”

Then she sat in Mamma Bears medium size Chair “Oh, no,” she said. “That chair is MUCH too soft!”

Next, she sat in Baby Bears tiny little chair. “Ahhhh,” she said with a smile. “This chair is JUST right!”

Just then there was a loud CRAAACK! and the little chair broke right through!

Goldilocks stood up and dusted herself off. Then she climbed upstairs to the bedroom. There she saw three beds all in a row. “Oh,” she said, yawning, “I am feeling sleepy.”

So she pulled down the covers and climbed into Papa Bears great big bed. But she quickly jumped down. “That bed is MUCH too hard!” she said.

Then she tried Mamma Bears medium size bed. But it was too soft.

So she climbed into Baby Bears tiny little bed. It was JUST right. Soon Goldilocks was fast asleep!

A little while later the Three Bears returned from their walk. They were feeling very hungry and were looking forward to eating the nice bowls of tasty porridge.

Suddenly Papa cried out in his great big voice, “Someone has been eating my porridge!”

Then Mamma cried out in her medium size voice, “Someone has been eating MY porridge!”

And Baby Bear cried out in his tiny little voice, “Some has been eating my porridge. And they’ve eaten it ALL UP!”

Then the Three Bears saw their chairs near the fireplace.

“Someone has been sitting in my chair!” Papa Bear said in his great big voice.

“Someone has been sitting in MY chair!” Mamma Bear said in her medium size voice.

“Someone has been sitting in MY chair,” Baby Bear cried in his tiny little voice. “And now it’s BROKEN!”

Then the Three Bears went upstairs to the bedroom.

“Someone has been sleeping in my bed!” Papa Bear shouted in his great big voice.

“And someone has been sleeping in MY bed!” Mamma Bear exclaimed in her medium size voice.

“Someone has been sleeping in MY bed,” Baby Bear squeaked in his tiny little voice. “AND HERE SHE IS!”

Just then Goldilocks woke up! When she saw the three bears standing around her, she leaped off the bed and ran down the stairs and out the door.

She didn’t stop until she was all the way back home.

And the Three Bears never saw Goldilocks again!

Goldilocks (and the three bears) is an English fairy tale. It was first published in 1837 by British author and poet Robert Southey. The story was before that time already part of English folklore. The story is about three bears and an intrusive old woman. The moral of the story is about egoism, respecting others’ property and the abuse of someone’s hospitality.

Goldilocks was originally an old woman. In a publication from 1849 she was replaced by a young girl. In the course of the twentieth century, she was named Goldilocks. Also, the three bachelor bears by Southey evolved in a family of three bears. What was originally a terrifying story, gradually changing into a charming tale for the whole family.

In a distant forest that was near the village, there lived three bears: the largest of them was a father bear, a medium-sized mother bear, and the smallest was their son Baby Bear.
They lived in a big beautiful house and each bear had its own bed. Daddy Bear had a large and spacious bed, Mom had a medium size bed, and Baby Bear had a small bed. Papa Bear specially ordered this bed from his friend, a beaver, a great woodworker.

In the largest room, next to the fireplace, around which the family gathered in the evenings, there was a large chair for the head of the family, next to it was a cute smaller chair made of blue velvet - it was for Mama Bear, and next to Mama's chair was a very small chair for the Kid.

In the kitchen, on a large oak table, they had three plates: the largest one for dad, the middle one for mom, and the smallest one for Baby.
The three bears were held in high esteem by all the neighbors and people respectfully took off their hats when they passed by. Papa Bear liked this very much and he always nodded respectfully at them in return. The mother bear also had many girlfriends around. She often visited them after dinner, where they exchanged their tips and jam recipes. And only the Kid had almost no friends, and all because he was too assertive in games and always liked to win. In general, he was cocky by nature and because of this he often got into some kind of trouble.

Not far from the house of the bears lived a girl named Masha and her character was terribly similar to the Baby Bear. Masha was also an arrogant and arrogant girl, and although the Baby Bear often invited her to visit him, Masha always answered with a firm “no”.

And then one day mother bear baked a blackberry pie according to her new recipe, her friends praised him very much. And so, when the pie was ready, my mother said:
- Now the pie has to stand a little and cool down, otherwise it will not be so tasty. This will take at least an hour, I think. Why don't we just walk over to the beavers and see their newborn? I know mommy beaver will be very happy.

Papa Bear and Baby, although in their hearts they wanted to try the cake as soon as possible, gladly agreed to visit the baby. And my mother continued:
- You need to dress smartly for this occasion. I think everyone in the beaver family will be terribly busy right now and therefore we will not stay with them and will be back soon.
And the three bears set off along the path to the bank of the river where the beavers lived.

A little later, Masha was walking past the bears' house, picking flowers in the neighboring meadow.

- Fu, what a terribly ugly house these three bears live in, - Masha said to herself, going down the hill. "I'll go inside and take a look." Of course, it will not be as beautiful as in my house, but I really want to know how this Baby Bear lives!
“Knock-knock-knock,” Masha knocked, but no one opened the door. “Knock-knock-knock,” she tried again. Nothing...

- Surely they must have heard, - Masha said to herself impatiently. - Is there anyone at home? she asked as she opened the door and looked inside. -
Nobody.

And then Masha decided to go into an empty house. She entered the kitchen first and stared at the large table in the middle of the room.
- Pie! Masha exclaimed, dipping her finger into the mama bear cake left to cool. - Mmm, pretty tasty! - Masha muttered.

Then she saw three plates on the table with something quite tasty and decided to try them.

She reached into each plate with a spoon, smearing the porridge along the edges of the plate and the table. Having eaten enough, Masha went on to inspect how the three bears live.
- This must be Papa Bear's chair, - Masha said aloud. - And this chair, I think, is mama bears, well, but this, the smallest, is my friend Baby Bear. I'll sit on it!

“Now check if the fire is hot,” she said.

Gretel realized that the witch wanted to deceive her - she was going to eat them both for dinner!

“But I don’t know how,” the girl quickly guessed to answer. Show me what to do!

"Stupid girl," the witch grumbled. - Go away, I'll show you. Everything is very simple, you need to lean closer to the stove like this and touch the fire with your fingers ... AAAAAAAA!

Gretel pushed the witch into the oven with all her might and locked the door. The witch screamed and screamed, and burned to the ground. When she finally calmed down, Gretel freed Hansel from his cage. Before they left the house, Hansel found a witch's pot full of rubies and diamonds on a shelf. She and Gretel stuffed their pockets with gems and ran off into the woods.


For a long time the children ran without looking back from the gingerbread house. Eventually they came to the edge of the forest and saw very familiar places.

- Gretel, look! We're home! Hansel exclaimed.

The lumberjack heard the children and quickly ran to meet them. He was so happy to see them that he burst into tears of happiness. Hansel and Gretel looked around, but the lumberjack's wife was nowhere to be found.

— Father, what happened to our stepmother? Gretel asked.

“On the day you disappeared, she got lost in the forest and was eaten by wolves,” he said. “I was so afraid that the same thing happened to you, but you are safe, which means everything is fine!”

The woodcutter hugged the children tightly and never lost sight of them again. They sold the jewels and bought a new house, closer to the village next door. No longer afraid of any witches, Hansel and Gretel could gorge themselves on sweets. Together with their father, they waited out the winter and lived happily ever after.

Goldilocks and the three bears

Retelling of a folk tale

Once upon a time there was a father bear, a mother bear and a baby bear. It is customary that bears live in dens, but this family settled in a beautiful tree house in the middle of the forest. It was small, but they lived in it very nicely.

As in any family, all the bears were different and used to live according to their own conveniences. Each of them had their own chair in the living room. Papa Bear sat in a wooden rocking chair by the fireplace. Mama bear is in an easy chair by the window. The baby bear had his own little chair next to the toy chest.

At night, all three bears slept in their own beds. Papa Bear had a big bed with a hard mattress. Mama bear loved to sleep in a medium sized bed with lots of soft pillows. The little teddy bear slept in a small crib, which was just right for him in length and breadth.

One morning, daddy bear cooked porridge for his family for breakfast, poured it into three different bowls, and the bears sat down at the table to have breakfast. Father, mother and son rarely agreed, but after tasting the porridge, they all agreed that it was too hot.

- Maybe we can take a walk while the porridge gets cold? suggested papa bear. We haven't been out as a family for a long time.

Mother bear and baby bear thought it was a wonderful idea, and together they went for a walk in the forest.

On the same day, a little girl from a nearby village was walking near their home. For her beautiful golden curls, she was nicknamed Goldilocks.

Surprisingly, Goldilocks did not meet the bears in the forest, although she reached their house shortly after they left. She had never seen such a home before. Goldilocks was a curious girl who loved to explore new places, so she knocked to ask to come in.

She knocked hard and was very surprised when the door swung open. The bears forgot to lock it behind them.

— Hey! Is there anyone at home? Goldilocks called, but only an echo came back.

Without waiting for an answer, Goldilocks decided to wander around the house. The smell of fresh porridge led her to the kitchen, and the girl saw three bowls on the table.


- Porridge! My lovely! - she exclaimed.

On a walk, Goldilocks got so hungry that she completely forgot about decorum. She grabbed a spoon, tasted Papa Bear's porridge without asking, and immediately burned herself.

“Too hot,” said Goldilocks.

She moved over and scooped up some mama bear porridge. Her bowl was much closer to the window, and the porridge had cooled so much that it didn’t even taste like porridge.

“Too cold,” said Goldilocks.

She moved further and tried the baby bear's porridge. And she smiled, deciding that porridge should taste like this.

- That's it! - she said.

Goldilocks ate the baby bear's porridge clean and began to look for a place to rest. She walked into the living room and sat in Papa Bear's rocking chair. It was so hard that it hurt her to sit in it.

“Too harsh,” said Goldilocks.

She moved to the mama bear chair. It was so soft that the girl almost drowned in it.

"Too soft," said Goldilocks.

She didn't manage to get out of the bear's chair right away. And when it did work out, Goldilocks sat down in the little bear's chair, and it fit her.

- That's it! the girl said happily.

As soon as she leaned back in her chair, it suddenly collapsed right under her. Before Goldilocks looked back, she was on the floor. She had never broken her chair and was very frightened.

“I must have overeaten the porridge,” the girl said.

There were no more comfortable chairs left, and Goldilocks decided to rest on the bed, especially since after a long day of walking she was not averse to taking a nap. The girl went to the bedroom and lay down on the bed of Papa Bear.

"Too hard," she said.

Goldilocks jumped out of bed and climbed into the mother bear's bed. Like the chair, her bed was so soft that Goldilocks sank into it and barely got out.

“Too soft,” she said.

The only thing left in the bedroom is the baby bear's bed. Goldilocks sat down on her to make sure the bed would support her. Then she climbed under the covers and lay down comfortably.

“That’s it…” she muttered, yawning, closed her eyes and immediately fell fast asleep.

Soon a family of bears returned from their walk. They rejoiced and rejoiced until they saw that the door of their house was wide open.

— Strange, I remember, I closed the door, — said the mother bear.

— It looks like we have uninvited guests! growled Papa Bear.

Bears rushed into the house. They first searched the kitchen, but found nothing out of the ordinary except for an empty porridge bowl.

- Someone ate my breakfast! said the baby bear.

The bears then looked around the living room, but found only a broken armchair.

- Someone broke my chair! the baby teddy-bear sobbed.

Only the bedroom remains. Papa Bear released his claws and headed there, not knowing who he would find there.

- Someone is sleeping in my bed! exclaimed the baby bear. - Yes, it's a girl!

The bears were very surprised that a little girl could make such a mess. They gathered by the bed and looked at her. Goldilocks felt this, woke up and saw bears around her.
