Goldielocks

“So first she tasted the porridge of the Great, Huge Bear, and that was too hot for her; and she said a bad word about that. And then she tasted the porridge of the Middle Bear, and that was too cold for her; and she said a bad word about that too. 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.” But then she realized that bears are carnivorous and the porridge was made of raw meat. She said a bad word about that as well. (Quote from Joseph Jacob’s The Story of the Three Bears, edited by Sisters Grimm)
