Once upon a time there werethree bears: daddy bear,mummy bear and baby bear.The bears lived in a house inthe middle of woods.

One day daddy bear made porridge for breakfast.

So the three bears went fora walk in the woods.

Daddy bear put the hot por-ridge into the three bowls: alittle bowl for baby bear, asmall bowl for mummy bearand a big bowl for daddybear. The porridge was very hot.

The porridge was very hot.‘Ouch!’ said baby bear, ‘Myporridge is too hot.’

‘Ouch!’ said mummy bear,‘My porridge is too hot.’

62

A little girl was in the woods. Hername was Goldilocks. She wasvery tired and hungry.

Then Goldilocks saw the bears’house. She knocked on the door.She looked through the window.She went in the house.

Then, Goldilocks saw threechairs: Daddy Bear’s chair,Mummy Bear’s chair andBaby Bear’s chair.

She sat on daddy bear’schair. ‘Ouch! Too hard.’

Then she sat on mummybear’s chair. ‘Oooh! Too soft.’

Goldilocks saw the three bowls ofporridge: Daddy bear’s bowl,mummy bear’s bowl, and babybear’s bowl.

She tasted daddy bear’s porridge.‘Ouch! Too hot.’ Then she tasted mummy bear’sporridge. ‘Ugh! Too cold.’

Then she tasted baby bear’s porridge. ‘Yum! Just right.’ Sheate it all up.

63

Then she sat on baby bear’s chair. And she broke it!

Goldilocks was very tired.

She saw three beds: Daddy bear’s bed,mummy bear’s bed and baby bear’s bed.

Goldilocks lay in daddy bear’s bed.‘Ouch! Too hard.’

Then she lay in Mummy Bear’s bed.‘Oooh! Too soft.’

Then she lay in baby bear’s bed.‘Aaah! Just right.’

And Goldilocks went to sleep inbaby bear’s bed.

Baby bear looked at his porridge.

‘Someone’s been eating my porridge,and it’s all gone!’

Mummy bear looked at her porridge.

‘Someone’s been eating my porridge,’she said.

Daddy bear looked at his porridge.

‘Someone’s been eating my porridge,’ he said.

Then the three bears came home.

64

Then the three bears saw their chairs.Daddy bear said ‘Someone’s been sitting on my chair.’

Mummy Bear said ‘Someone’s beensitting on my chair.’

And Baby Bear said. ‘Someone’s beensitting on my chair, and its broken!’

Baby bear looked at his bed.‘Someone’s been sleeping in mybed. And here she is!’

Then the three bears went to their bedroom.

Daddy bear looked at his bed. ‘Someone’s been sleeping in mybed,’ he said.

Mummy Bear looked at her bed.‘Someone’s been sleeping in mybed,’ she said.

Goldilocks woke up and openedher eyes. She saw the three bears.

They growled. Grrr! Goldilocksjumped out of bed and ran away.

She never went back to the bears’house again.

Grrr!

The turnip grew biggerand bigger, until one dayit was enormous.

The old man tried topull the turnip out ofthe ground. He pulled,and he pulled, but hecouldn’t pull it up.

So he called an old woman tohelp him.

The old woman pulled the oldman. The old man pulled theturnip. And they pulled and theypulled, but they couldn’t pull it up.

So the oldwoman calledher daughter.

The daughter pulled the old woman. The old womanpulled the old man. The old man pulled the turnip. Andthey pulled and they pulled, but they couldn’t pull it up.66

The daughter called the dog.

The dog pulled the daughter. The daughter pulled the old woman.The old woman pulled the old man. The old man pulled the turnip.And they pulled and they pulled, but they couldn’t pull it up.

The dog called the cat.

The cat pulled the dog. The dog pulled the daughter. The daughterpulled the old woman. The old woman pulled the old man. The oldman pulled the turnip. And they pulled and they pulled, but theycouldn’t pull it up.

The mouse pulled the cat. The cat pulled the dog. The dogpulled the daughter. The daughter pulled the old woman.The old woman pulled the old man. The old man pulled theturnip.

The cat called the mouse.

67

And they pulled and they pulled – Aaaand ... the turnipcame out of the ground at last!

And the mouse fell on the ground, the cat fell on the mouse,the dog fell on the cat, the daughter fell on the dog, the oldwoman fell on the daughter, the old man fell on the oldwoman, and the turnip fell on the old man.
