Narrator: Once upon a time, there live in the forest three
Bears who went for a walk. Goldilocks, a girl with golden
locks found their house and their porridge waiting to
cool.

(Goldilocks enters and approaches the table. On the
table are 3 bowls of porridge and 3 chairs behind,
decreasing in size.)

Goldilocks: (Goldilocks tries porridge, makes face.) Too
hot!
Narrator: Next she tried Mama's porridge.
Goldilocks: (Goldilocks tries porridge, makes face.) Too
cold!
Narrator: Last she tried Baby's porridge.
Goldilocks: (Goldilocks tries porridge, makes "yum" face.)
Ah! Just right! And the chair fits, too! (Goldilocks sits and
eats greedily.) YUM!

Narrator: And she ate it all up. (In her excitement of
eating, Goldilocks rocks chair and breaks it.)
Goldilocks: Oops! Well, it's time for a nap.
Narrator: And she went upstairs to take a nap.

(Goldilocks goes upstairs to the bedroom, where there
are 3 beds decreasing in size in one room. Goldilocks
passes by each bed, commenting as she goes.)
(Goldilocks looks at Papa's bed.)
Goldilocks: No way! (Goldilocks looks at Mama's bed.) No
how! (Goldilocks looks at Baby's bed.) Just right!

Narrator: Meanwhile, the bears came home. (Papa Bear,
Mama Bear, and Baby Bear enter the kitchen and go to
their respective bowls/chairs.)
Papa Bear: Someone's been eating my porridge! (Papa
Bear crosses arms with a "hmph" and sits in chair.)
Mama Bear: Someone's been eating my porridge! (Mama
Bear crosses arms with a "hmph" and sits in chair.)
Baby Bear: Someone's been eating my porridge, and they
ate it all up! (Baby Bear crosses arms with a "hmph!" and
goes to sit in chair, but falls because it's broken.)
Papa Bear and Mama Bear: And someone broke her
chair!

Papa Bear: Time for a nap! (Papa Bear looks at Mama
Bear and motions with hand to follow.) Come on.
Mama Bear: (Mama Bear looks at Baby Bear and motions
with hand to follow.) Come on.
Baby Bear: (Baby Bear looks at no one and motions with
hand to follow.) Come on.

(They all march upstairs. Papa Bear and Mama Bear get
into their beds. Baby Bear climbs into her bed, not
noticing Goldilocks is there.)
Baby Bear: Could you scoot over a bit?
Goldilocks: Okay.

(Pause, then they sit up and look at each other and
scream. Mama Bear and Papa Bear jump out of bed,
Baby Bear runs to them, Goldilocks runs and hides in
corner of the room.)

Papa Bear: Did you eat our porridge?
Mama Bear: Did you break her chair?
Baby Bear: And what were you doing in my bed?
Goldilocks: Well...um...see...Look!

(Goldilocks points up and away from door, and runs
away as they look where she pointed. Papa Bear, Mama
Bear, and Baby Bear look after her, look at each other,
shrug.)

Narrator: And the ears never saw Goldilocks again
