The Three Bears is an English fairy tale. It is adapted into a Little Golden Book in 1948 with illustrations by Feodor Rojankovsky.
Synopsis[]
In the story, three anthropomorphic bears – "a Little, Small, Wee Bear, a Middle-sized Bear, and a Great, Huge Bear" – live together in a house in the woods. Each of these "bachelor" bears has his own porridge bowl, chair, and bed. One day they make porridge for breakfast, but it's too hot to eat, so take a walk in the woods while their porridge cools. A little girl named Goldilocks approaches the bears' house. She looks through a window, peeps through the keyhole, and lifts the latch. Assured that no one is home, she walks in. The little girl eats the Wee Bear's porridge, then settles into his chair and breaks it. Prowling about, she finds the bears' beds and falls asleep in Wee Bear's bed. The dark end of the tale is reached when the bears return. Wee Bear finds his empty bowl, his broken chair, and Goldilocks in his bed and cries, "Somebody has been lying in my bed, and here she is!" Goldilocks wakes up and runs away from the Three Bears' house.
