14: Goldilocks And The Three Bears
And sometimes the three big carnivores in the woods just want you to stop eating their porridge.
Goldilocks is a possibly orphaned and desperate girl who breaks into a cosy cottage, try three beds and three bowls of porridge by the comedy rule of threes, and then discover that the residents are bears. An example of folk story bears being nice, certainly compared to wolves, they don’t eat her. Still, not something you should rely on in this situation.
The three beds and bowls led to the term Goldilocks zone for a narrow band of a solar system where a planet could sustain life. Which isn’t really anything to do with the story but there we are.
The Third Was Just Right
A family of bears need help finding a friend who was supposed to be staying with them. None of the locals think it strange that they have porridge-eating bears for neighbours.
