Transcript (Download)

You Once upon a time there were three bears who lived together in a little house in the woods Oh One of them was a wee little bear and one was a middle -sized bear And the other was a great big bear They each had a bowl for their porridge a wee little bowl for the wee little bear and a middle -sized bowl for the middle -sized bear and a great big bowl for the great big bear Hmm And they each had a chair to sit in Oh Little chair for the wee little bear and A middle -sized chair for the middle -sized bear And a great big chair for the great big bear And They each had a bed to sleep in a wee little bed for the wee little bear and a middle -sized bed for the middle -sized bear and a great big bed for the great big bear Because they were polite well -brought -up bears They decided to take a walk in the woods while their porridge was cooling so they would not burn their mouths For you see these were nice bears a little rough as bears are but very good -natured Now there was a little girl named Goldilocks who lived on the other side of the woods She had been sent on an errand by her mother When she found the little house She looked in at the window and She peeped through the keyhole for she was not at all a well -brought -up little girl Then seeing nobody in the house She lifted the latch and found the door unlocked for the bears had never done anyone harm And never suspected anyone would harm them So Goldilocks went in and well pleased was she when she saw the porridge on the table If she had been a thoughtful little girl She would have waited for the bears to come home and then perhaps they would have asked her to breakfast for they were very polite bears But she was a rude little girl and so she set about helping herself First she tasted the porridge of the great big bear, but that was too hot for her Next she tasted the porridge of the middle -sized bear but that was too cold for her and She tasted the porridge of the wee little bear and that was neither too hot nor too cold but just Right, so she ate it all up every bit Then Goldilocks felt tired So she sat down in the chair of the great big bear but that was too hard for her So she sat down in the chair of the middle -sized bear but that was too soft for her But the chair of the wee little bear was neither too hard nor too soft but just right So she seated herself and there she sat until it broke to pieces and down she came plump upon the ground Now that made her very cross for as I have been telling you she was a bad tempered little girl Then Goldilocks went into the bed chamber First she laid down upon the bed of the great big bear but that was too high at the head Next she laid down upon the bed of the middle -sized bear and that was too high at the foot And then she laid down upon the bed of the wee little bear and that was just right So there she lay until she fell fast asleep By this time the three bears thought their porridge must have cooled So they came home to breakfast Now careless Goldilocks had left the spoon of the great big bear standing in his porridge Somebody's been eating my porridge! And the middle -sized bear saw the spoon was standing in her porridge too Somebody has been eating my porridge! Somebody's been eating my porridge! Somebody's been eating my porridge and is eating it all up! Somebody has been sitting in my chair! Goldilocks had squatted down the cushions on the chair of the middle -sized bear Somebody has been sitting in my chair! And you know what Goldilocks had done to the wee little chair Somebody's been sitting in my chair and has sat the bottom out of it Then the three bears went to their bed chamber Somebody has been lying in my bed! Now Goldilocks heard in her sleep the great gruff gruff voice of the great big bear But it was no more to her than the rumbling of thunder Somebody has been lying in my bed! And she heard the middle -sized voice of the middle -sized bear But it was no more to her than the roaring of the wind Somebody has been lying in my bed! But when she heard the wee little voice of the wee little bear Somebody has been lying in my bed and here she is still! It awakened her at once! When Goldilocks saw the three bears on one side of the bed She tumbled herself out of the other and scrambled out the window Away she ran as fast as she could and never looked behind her And what happened afterwards I cannot tell But the three bears never saw anything more of Goldilocks I'm gonna fix that chair The End
