sized bowl.

She did not like that.

Then she tasted of the broth in the little

bowl.

This was so good she ate it all up.

Golden Locks saw three chairs.
One was a very big chair.

One was a middle-sized chair.

And one was a very little chair.

Golden Locks climbed up into the big chair and sat down.

She did not like the big chair.

She tried the middle-sized chair.
She did not like that chair.

Then she tried the little chair.

The little chair was very soft and Golden

Locks liked it.

Golden Locks was a big girl.

The little chair broke and down she went.

She did not like this bed. Out for a walk

She lay down in the middle-sized bed.

She did not like that bed.

She lay down in the little bed and was soon fast asleep.

When the Bears came home, Papa Bear said, "WHO HAS BEEN TASTING OF MY BROTH?"

Mamma Bear said, "WHO HAS BEEN TASTING

OF MY BROTH?"

Little Baby Bear said, “Who has been tasting of my broth and has eaten it all up?"

When they saw their chairs, Papa Bear said, "WHO HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY

CHAIR?"

Mamma Bear said, "WHO

HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY

CHAIR?"

Little Baby Bear said,

"Who has been sitting in my chair and
has broken it?"

Then they went to look at
their beds and Papa
Bear said, "WHO HAS
BEEN IN MY BED?"

Mamma Bear said, "WHO

HAS BEEN IN MY BED?"

Little Baby Bear said,

"Who has been in my bed? Who is in my bed now?"

Just then Golden Locks awoke.
She saw the little Bear looking at her,
and oh, how frightened she was!

There was an open window near the bed.
Golden Locks jumped out of the window
as quick as she could.

She ran and she ran until she came to her home.

She never went to the Bears' house again.
