Hello dear one,
My name is Jessica Amos but you can call me Jessa.
Tonight I will be reading you the story of Goldilocks and the three bears.
But first take some time to settle down,
Get cozy and close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth and let your body relax.
Let your mind draw pictures of this story as I read you these words.
Goldilocks and the three bears.
Once upon a time there were three bears who lived together in a house in a wood.
One of them was little,
Small,
Wee bear and one was a middle sized bear and the other was a great huge bear.
They each had a bowl for their porridge,
A little bowl for the little small wee bear and a middle sized bowl for the middle sized bear and a great bowl for the great huge bear.
And they each had a chair to sit in,
A little chair for the little small wee bear and a middle sized chair for the middle sized bear and a great chair for the great huge bear.
And they each had a bed to sleep in,
A little bed for the little small wee bear and a middle sized bed for the middle sized bear and a great bed for the great huge bear.
One day after they made the porridge for their breakfast and poured it into their bowls,
They walked out into the wood while the porridge was cooling so they wouldn't burn their mouths by beginning to eat it too soon.
In a village just beyond the forest lived a little girl who loved to run through the long grass picking wildflowers.
Her hair fell in golden locks around her shoulders so everyone called her Goldilocks.
This morning however Goldilocks wandered too far and before she realized it she found herself deep in the shadowy wood.
Soon she came upon the three bears cottage.
Glad to find a house in the middle of the forest she ran from window to window and peeked in.
Seeing no one at home she went to the door and tried the latch.
Now the three bears who themselves were very polite creatures never thought that anyone would come into their house without an invitation so they always left their door unlocked.
But Goldilocks who was sometimes so curious she forgot her manners opened the door and invited herself in.
The moment she smelled the cooling porridge Goldilocks remembered how hungry exploring the forest had made her.
If she had waited for the three bears to come home she might have been invited for breakfast for they were good-natured bears and hospitable but instead she decided to help herself.
First she tasted the porridge of the great huge bear but that was too hot for her and then she tasted the porridge of the middle sized bear but that was too cold for her and then she went to the porridge of the little small wee bear and tasted that and that was neither too hot nor too cold but just right and she liked it so well that she ate it all up.
Then Goldilocks sat down in the chair of the great huge bear but that was too hard for her and then she sat down in the chair of the middle sized bear but that was too soft for her and then she sat down in the chair of the little small wee bear and that was neither too hard nor too soft but just right.
So she seated herself in it and there she sat until the poor little chair broke into pieces and down she came plump onto the ground.
Then Goldilocks went upstairs into the bedroom where the three bears slept and first she lay down upon the bed of the great huge bear but that was too high at the head for her and next she lay down upon the bed of the middle sized bear but that was too high at the foot for her and then she lay down upon the bed of the little small wee bear and that was neither too high at the head nor at the feet but just right so she covered herself up comfortably and lay there until she fell asleep.
By that time the three bears thought that their porridge would be cool enough to eat so they came home to have their breakfast but things were not how they had left them.
Looking into his bowl the great huge bear said in his great huge voice,
Somebody has been testing my porridge.
Then the middle sized bear said in her middle sized voice,
Somebody has been tasting my porridge and the little small wee bear cried,
Somebody has been tasting my porridge and has eaten it all up.
Then the great huge bear looked at his chair,
Somebody has been sitting in my chair and the middle sized bear said,
Somebody has been sitting in my chair and the poor little small wee bear cried,
Somebody has been sitting in my chair and it's broken all to pieces.
Then the three bears thought that they should make a further search of the house so they went upstairs into their bedroom.
Goldilocks had pulled the pillow of the great huge bear out of its place,
Somebody has been lying in my bed said the great huge bear in his great rough voice and Goldilocks had also pulled the pillow of the middle sized bear out of its place,
Somebody has been lying in my bed said the middle sized bear in her middle sized voice and when the little small wee bear came to look at his bed there was the pillow in its place and upon the pillow was the head of Goldilocks which was not in its place for she had no business there.
Somebody has been lying in my bed and there she is said the little small wee bear in his little small wee voice.
Goldilocks had heard in her sleep the great rough gruff voice of the great huge bear and the middle sized voice of the middle sized bear but it was only as if she had heard someone speaking in a dream but the little small wee voice of the little small wee bear was so sharp and so shrill that it woke her at once.
Up she started and when she saw the three bears on one side of the bed she tumbled out the other side and ran to the window.
The window was open because the three bears being good tidy bears always opened their bedroom window in the morning.
Out Goldilocks jumped and ran away as fast as she could run never looking behind her.
What happened to her afterward I cannot tell but the three bears never saw anything more of her.
The End.
Okay my darling it's time to go to sleep.
Remember you are so very loved and your heart is deeply good and I am glad you are here and that we are friends.
May you sleep tight.
May this gentle music rock you off to sleep.
May your dreams be full of love and light.
