A SignWriting¨ Children’s Story

Somewhere deep in the forest,
there is a house sitting on a hill.If you quietly enter the house, there you will see...

Papa Bear is reading
the newspaper.Baby Bear is playing
with his toys.


Mama Bear is cooking.
The food is ready.Mama Bear brings a big bowl, a medium bowl, and a small bowl. She takes a spoon and dishes out porridge into each bowl.


“Hey there, Baby Bear. Ready to eat. Hey there, Papa. Ready to eat. Come on both of you.” The three bears go to the table.
Papa Bear is ready and eager to eat. Yummy!
Papa Bear eats one spoonful. “Oh! That is too hot!!!” Papa Bear says, “I have an idea. Why don’t
we go out for a walk? In a half an hour, we’ll
return, and the porridge will be ready to eat.”

“Yes! Yes! Good idea!!”
So the three bears go out for a walk.

Goldilocks leaves home to take a walk.
She enters the forest.

She smells the aroma of delicious food. Where is the house where that delicious smell comes from?

Goldilocks follows the aroma. She sees a house on a hill. She goes to the front door and knocks. She waits. No one answers. The door is open a crack. Maybe no one is home?
So... she peers in.
Goldilocks sees a big bowl, a medium bowl and a small bowl. The food smells good. Goldilocks goes to the table. She decides to try the big bowl. She eats one spoonful. “Oh! That is too hot!!! No way!

rest. What to do? She looks around the room. She notices a big chair, a medium-sized chair, and a small chair over on one side of the room.
Let’s see... Goldilocks decides to try the big chair. She sits down. The arms of the chair are too high, and the chair is too hard. No good!
20
Goldilocks crawls off the big chair and walks to the medium-sized chair. She sits down. The chair is too soft!! No good!
She crawls out of the medium-sized chair and walks to the small chair. She sits down. It is perfect!! The chair breaks under her. Oh dear! Oh well! 22Goldilocks is tired and wants to go to sleep. Where is a bed? She climbs the stairs. There are beds upstairs. She sees a large bed, a medium-sized bed and a small bed.
down, but tosses and turns.
The big bed is too hard! No good!
24

Goldilocks decides to try Baby Bear’s bed.
She lies down. The bed is perfect!!
26The three
bears
arrive home.
They see
someone
has entered
the house.
“Who? Don’t know.”
The door is already open a crack. They push the door open and look around.
“Look there!”
Surprised, the three bears
rush to the table.
28 “Someone has been eating my porridge!”, Papa Bear says.
“Someone has been eating my porridge!”, Mama Bear says.
Baby Bear starts to cry. “Someone has been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!” 30Baby Bear is feeling sad. “Look!” Baby Bear cries, “Someone has broken my chair!” He cries. Mama and Papa Bear comfort him.
“Let’s check. Maybe there is someone upstairs asleep?” They tiptoe upstairs. 32They see Goldilocks lying in bed asleep. They rush to the bed and tap her on the shoulder.
Goldilocks wakes up and is surprised and frightened!


She jumps out of bed, runs down the stairs and shoots out of the house.
34

Goldilocks will NEVER again enter other people’s (or bear’s) homes! The three bears feel relieved. They go downstairs. Papa and Mama Bear share food with Baby Bear.
