从前,有一个金头发的小姑娘,名字叫金发姑娘。
一天,她一个人在森林里玩。她看见一个小房子。门开着,里面没有人。她就进去了。
房子里有三碗汤。第一碗太热,第二碗太凉,第三碗刚好。金发姑娘把第三碗都吃了。
然后她看见三把椅子。第一把太大,第二把也太大,第三把刚好。可是她坐上去的时候,椅子坏了。
她累了,想睡觉。楼上有三张床。第一张太硬,第二张太软,第三张刚好。她在第三张床上睡着了。
这时候,三只熊回来了!熊爸爸说:”谁吃了我的汤?”熊妈妈说:”谁坐了我的椅子?”小熊看见自己的椅子坏了,哭了:”谁把我的椅子弄坏了?”
他们上楼,看见床上的金发姑娘。小姑娘醒了,看见三只熊,害怕极了!她从床上跳下来,跑出房子,跑回家了。
从那以后,她再也不进别人的家了。

Once upon a time, there was a little girl with golden hair. Her name was Goldilocks.
One day, she was playing alone in the forest. She saw a small house. The door was open, and there was no one inside. So she went in.
Inside the house, there were three bowls of soup. The first bowl was too hot, the second bowl was too cold, and the third bowl was just right. Goldilocks ate all of the third bowl.
Then she saw three chairs. The first one was too big, the second one was also too big, and the third one was just right. But when she sat on it, the chair broke.
She was tired and wanted to sleep. Upstairs there were three beds. The first one was too hard, the second one was too soft, and the third one was just right. She fell asleep on the third bed.
At that moment, the three bears came home! Papa Bear said: ‘Who ate my soup?’ Mama Bear said: ‘Who sat in my chair?’ Little Bear saw that his chair was broken and cried: ‘Who broke my chair?’
They went upstairs and saw Goldilocks on the bed. The little girl woke up, saw the three bears, and was extremely scared! She jumped off the bed, ran out of the house, and ran back home.
From then on, she never entered other people’s homes again.
