      Today's Passage : Goldilocks and the Three Bears back
     


    While Goldilocks was out walking in the woods she came across a little cottage. She knocked on the door but there was no answer. She noticed that the door was not closed properly and she pushed it open and looked inside.

    There were three places set at the table ready for breakfast. First Goldilocks tried the large chair, but it was too hard. The middle sized chair was too soft. The small chair was just right, but Goldilocks was too heavy for it and as she sat on it, the chair broke.

    Then Goldilocks tried the large bowl of porridge, but it was too hot. She tried the middle sized bowl of porridge, but it was too cold. The small bowl of porridge was just right and she ate it all up. After eating all that breakfast she was feeling tired.
