Goldilocks was bold and very curious. Her father wrapped a red scarf around her and told her not to rush into places where she didn't belong. She listened but at the same time she did not listen. She went into the forest to see what she could find. She saw a small cabin and she was too curious to walk past it. She knocked on the cabin three ties but no one answered but the door opened. She walked in and saw that the room was strewn with leaves, berries and fur. She found a broom and began to sweep; she thought her mother would be proud. All of that work made her hungry and she saw three bowls of porridge on the table. She picked the lumps of beetles and scales out of the smallest bowl and ate it all. The eating made her sleepy and she saw three beds made of straw, pine needles, and leaves. She found the third pile to be the most comfortable and she fell asleep. When the bears came back, they found that Goldilocks was still in their house. They examined her and saw that she didn't have fur, claws, or sharp teeth like them. They thought she looked weird! When Goldilocks woke up the bears were in her face. She saw a window in the corner of her eye and climbed out of it and ran all the way home.
There are many versions of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and teachers can use different versions to teach students that there is more than one way to tell a story. Teachers could get students to write stories that have the same events in them but change them slightly to make them their own. This will help students imaginations and creative writing skills.
