Fractured Fairy Tales: Baby Bear’s New Best Friend

SHAVONNE TANG Class: 1/2

It was a sunny morning. Mommy bear had just cooked some porridge for the family. Baby bear was hungry and could not wait to eat some food. He rushed to the dining table and ate a spoonful of porridge. He instantly spat out the porridge and said, “The porridge is too hot for me to eat! ” The three bears then decided that they were going to take a walk in the park so that th eir porridge could cool down.

Soon after the three bears left their house, a girl named Goldilocks showed up at their doorstep. She knocked on the door but no one answered. She turned the door knob and the house door opened. The first thing she saw was three bowls of porridge on the dining table. She quickly entered and went to the dining table.

She was starving and could not resist the smell of the delicious porridge and took a spoonful from the biggest bowl. It was so hot that it almost burnt her tongue. She then moved on to the second bowl. This time it was too cold for her. She went to the last bowl which was the smallest one and it was perfect for her. She quickly finished all of it. Now that she was full, she wanted to sit down to rest. She went to the living room and found three chairs: a big one, a medium one and a small one that looked like it could fit her perfectly.

She went to the biggest chair and sat on it but it was too hard. She went to the chair beside it but it was too soft. She went to the last chair which was the smallest one. It was just right but a few seconds later, there was a cracking sound and the chair broke into tiny little pieces. 

She was shocked but she started to get tired and wanted to take a nap. She decided to go upstairs in search of a bed. She found the bedroom and there were three beds. She went for the biggest bed and laid down on it but it was too hard. She went to the second bed but it was too soft. She went to the last bed and it was so perfect that she fell asleep almost right away. Just then, the three bears came back home.

Baby bear ran towards the dining table only to find that his porridge was all gone. Not even a single bit was left. He started sobbing and cried out “Someone ate my porridge!” He was tired after the walk and now wanted to take a seat. He started to cry after he saw his broken chair “Someone also broke my chair!” He wanted to take a nap after all this and ran upstairs. To his surprise, he saw Goldilocks and yelled, “Someone is sleeping in my bed!”

Mommy and Daddy bear rushed up the stairs to the bedroom. Goldilocks woke up and she was startled. She said, “I am so sorry for intruding into your house. I was just really tired and hungry and chanced upon your house.” Baby bear replied kindly, “That is fine, just do not break into someone else’s house the next time.” Goldilocks gave a sigh of relief as they all headed downstairs. After that, Goldilocks and Baby bear hung out in the living room, laughing and giggling together. They decided to become friends and whenever Goldilocks came over to their house, Mommy bear would cook Goldilock’s favourite food, porridge.
