00:00goldilocks and the three bears read by richard bryas once upon a time in a little house on the
00:11edge of the woods a girl called goldilocks lived with her parents one morning she woke up as the
00:18sun was streaming through her window thinking it was time for school she leapt out of bed
00:23downstairs her mother was busy it's far too early for school don't get under my feet why don't you
00:32go up for a walk you can pick me some blackberries to make a pie for dinner tonight she grumbled
00:38goldilocks went skipping into the woods swinging a basket for the blackberries singing to herself
00:44she went further and further into the woods after a while she began to feel hungry and a little tired
00:52across a clearing in the woods she suddenly saw a cottage perhaps i could get something to eat there
01:00and have a rest she thought she knocked on the door but there was no reply gently she pushed the door
01:08and to her surprise it opened cautiously she went in hello she called but no one answered the door
01:19opened into a kitchen on the table she could see three bowls of porridge which smelled so delicious
01:27that it made her tummy rumble the bowls were three different sizes big middle-sized and tiny and by
01:36each bowl was a chair also big middle-sized and tiny goldilocks scrambled onto the biggest chair
01:44because it had the biggest bowl of porridge by it she picked up a big spoon and tried the porridge
01:51ouch she cried this porridge is too hot she moved onto the next chair and the next bowl
02:00picking up a middle-sized spoon she tried the porridge yuck she said for it was very very cold
02:07goldilocks moved onto the next chair and the smallest bowl picking up the smallest spoon she tried the
02:16porridge it was just right so very quickly she ate it all up as she was finishing it she began to hear a
02:26strange creaking sound and just as she ate the last spoonful the legs of the chair she was sitting on
02:32broke and she landed with a bump on the floor after all the porridge and the bump she suddenly felt very
02:40sleepy so she went up the twisty stairs to see if she could find somewhere to lie down first of all she
02:49found a great big bed she climbed up onto it but oh it was too hard then she found a middle-sized bed
02:58she climbed into it but it was too soft she felt as though she would disappear in it
03:05then she found a teeny tiny bed this felt just right so she climbed into it pulled the covers over
03:12herself and was soon fast asleep while she was sleeping the owners of a cottage came back
03:20they were three bears daddy bear mummy bear and baby bear they'd been for a walk in the woods before
03:29breakfast and now they were hungry hello what's this growl daddy bear in his great big voice looks as
03:39though someone's been messing with my porridge and whoever it is has left muddy footprints on my chair
03:44mummy bear mummy bear came to look you're right my dear she said in her soft growly middle-sized voice
03:52someone's been eating my porridge too and i'm sure the cushion on my chair has been sat on
03:59then baby bear began to cry someone's been eating my porridge and they've eaten it all up and they've broken
04:07my chair as well he sobbed in his little squeaky teeny middle-sized growl who could have done this and
04:15where were they now they wondered they looked around the house and went upstairs well growl daddy bear
04:24someone's been lying in my bed but they're not there now someone's been in my bed too said mummy bear
04:31but i can't see them then they heard a squeak from baby bear daddy mummy come quickly there's someone
04:40fast asleep in my bed daddy and mummy bear raced into his room and stood around the bed looking down at
04:48goldilocks she woke with a start and was frightened to see three bears all looking at her before they could
04:56say anything she jumped out of bed out of the window and ran away through the woods back to her home
05:03because she didn't know that they were really gentle friendly bears well i never growl daddy bear
05:11scratching his head my grandfather told me people were strange fancy eating all that porridge and then
05:18running away puzzled the three bears went back to the kitchen where daddy bear mended baby bear's
05:26chair while mummy bear made more porridge and from that day to this bears all over the world have
05:34always known that people are strange creatures who are not to be trusted with porridge
