Goldilocks	‘Ouch! This porridge is too hot!’
Narrator	She tasted the porridge from the second bowl.
Goldilocks	This porridge is too cold.
Narrator	She tasted the last bowl of porridge.
Goldilocks	Ahhh, this porridge is just right.
Narrator	he ate it all up happily. She was feeling a little tired. So she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. She sat in the first chair to rest her feet.
Goldilocks	This chair is too big.
Narrator	She sat in the second chair.
Goldilocks	This chair is too big too!
Narrator	She whined and tried the last smallest chair.
Goldilocks	Ahhh, this chair is just right.
Narrator	But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces.

 

SCENE – II
Narrator	Goldilocks was very tired by this time. So she went upstairs to the bedroom. She tried all the beds and as the two beds were hard, she choose the smaller bed, which was soft. She laid down on it and at last, she fell asleep. As she was sleeping, the three bears, who lived in that house, came home.
Papa bear	Someone’s been eating my porridge.
Mama bear	Yes, someone had tasted my porridge.
Baby bear	Someone had eaten all my porridge.
Papa bear	Someone’s been sitting in my chair.
Mama bear	Someone’s been sitting in my chair too.
Baby bear	Someone’s been sitting in my chair and they’ve broken it all to pieces.
Narrator	They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled.
Papa bear	Someone has been sleeping in my bed.
Mama bear	Someone has been sleeping in my bed too.
Baby bear	Someone is still sleeping on my bed.
Narrator	Just then Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed.
Goldilocks	Help! Help! She jumped up and ran out of the room. She ran down the stairs, opened the door and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.
