(Appendix 1.1)

The Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She lived at
the edge of the forest with her family. One morning, while she was picking
flowers, Goldilocks wandered into the forest and lost her way. She was very
frightened, but then she saw a friendly little cottage in the distance.
The friendly little cottage belonged to three bears. One was a great big
Papa Bear, one was a middle-sized Mama Bear, and one was a tiny little Baby
Bear. That morning, the three bears started to take a walk while their porridge
which tastes like oatmeal was cooling. It was too hot to eat!
Right as they left through the back door, Goldilocks came in through the
front door very quietly. The first thing she saw and smelled was the sweet,
steamy porridge. I sure am hungry, Goldilocks said. Ill just have one bite.
First, she tried a spoonful from Papa Bears great big bowl. OW! she
yelled, TOO HOT!
Next, she tried a spoonful from Mama Bears medium-sized bowl. Brrrrr!
TOO COLD! she complained.
Finally, Goldilocks tried a spoonful from Baby Bears tiny little bowl.
YUMMY! she cried. THIS IS JUST RIGHT! Goldilocks ate the entire bowlful.
After running around the forest all day, Goldilocks feet were sore. I need
to sit down for a little while to rest my sore feet! she thought.

The Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears

First, she sat in Papa Bears great big armchair. TOO HARD! she
screamed. Goldilocks stomped to the next chair.
Next she sat in Mama Bears medium-sized chair. It was so soft that she
sunk in! TOO SOFT! she complained, as she pulled herself out of the cushions.
Finally, she sat in Baby Bears tiny little rocking chair. JUST RIGHT! She
laughed, and rocked until the chair broke.
With nowhere to sit, Goldilocks climbed up the stairs to find somewhere to
sleep. She was still very tired.
First, she tried Papa Bears great big bed. TOO HIGH! she yelled.
Then, she tried Mama Bears medium-sized bed. TOO LOW! she

Finally, she tried Baby Bears tiny little bed. JUST RIGHT! she sighed.
Whos been sitting in my chair? wondered Mama Bear.
Then Goldilocks fell asleep and dreamed dreams of flowers and warm cookies.
Whos been sitting in my chair and BROKEN it? squeaked Baby Bear.
Just then, the three bears returned home from their walk. They saw
spoons in their porridge, and were very surprised. Whos been eating my

Whos been eating my porridge? asked Mama Bear.
Whos been sleeping in my bed? growled Mama Bear. She was a little angry
and a little worried.
Whos been eating my porridge and eaten it all up? cried Baby Bear.
Whos been sleeping in my bed and is STILL HERE? Baby Bear screamed. He
said it so loudly that he woke Goldilocks up.
She was so frightened that she jumped out of bed, ran out the front door,
and raced through the forest until she heard her mothers voice. Goldilocks was
so happy to see her mother that she promised to never wander through the
forest alone again.
