This story is rating K or G whatever one you like.
Everybody knows the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, but they seem to have gotten the ending all wrong. Goldilocks never made it out of bed because the three bears captured her and made her their servant. She cleaned the house, made the porridge every morning, read to Baby Bear every single night, and everything else imaginable…
“What book do you want me to read to you tonight, Baby Bear?” Goldilocks asked with a sigh.
“‘Little Sparrow’! Read that one!” Baby Bear exclaimed.
“But I’ve been reading that one to you for three months straight.” Goldilocks complained.
“I like that one.” Baby Bear huffed.
“Well I don’t. I won’t read you a book unless you pick a different one.” Goldilocks tried to bargain with Baby Bear.
“What’s all the fussing about in here?” Mama Bear asked walking in the room to see what all the commotion was about.
“Goldilocks won’t read ‘Little Sparrow’ to me Mama.” Baby Bear whined.
“But I’ve been reading that book for three months straight!” Goldilocks argued.
Mama Bear thought for a moment before answering, “Three months is a long time. Baby Bear read it yourself tonight and have a different book picked out for tomorrow.” Goldilocks let out her breath that she had been holding, but Mama Bear wasn’t done yet, “Goldilocks go start looking for the night blooming flower. We ran out this morning and we need some for tomorrow’s porridge.”
“Yes Mama Bear.” Baby Bear and Goldilocks chorused.
Goldilocks walked out of the room and down the stairs into the kitchen where she started looking for her yellow yarn that kept her from getting lost in the woods. It wouldn’t have been as bad getting caught by the bears if she wasn’t lost in the first place. She could have escaped and headed home, but no she didn’t have a clue where she was. She knew her home was just outside the forest but that didn’t do her much good. If only she hadn’t gotten in that silly argument with her mother and decided to run away from home. Heck if she had just decided not to run away into the woods. Oh well there wasn’t anything she could do about it now.
“Now where did I put that yarn?” Goldilocks talked out loud, “What am I going to do? Stupid bears and their porridge. Stupid flower that they need to make their porridge taste good. I don’t see a difference in not using it.” Just then the left over bread from dinner caught her eye, “I know! I’ll use the bread like Hansel and Gretel. It should work for me because there aren’t any birds out at night to eat it.”
With that Goldilocks grabbed the bread and a basket as she headed out the door. She waited until she was to the edge of the forest around the bear’s house before she started to drop bread crumbs. Goldilocks carefully dropped the crumbs every five paces as she searched for the night blooming flower. She had been walking for a couple of hours when she heard a twig snap stopping her dead in her tracks. She spun around to see what had caused the noise behind her. Goldilocks eyes fell upon a raccoon looking right at her but not more than a second after she laid eyes on the animal it was gone, disappearing into the night. Soon after that she realized that all the bread crumbs were gone, eaten by the raccoon. She now had no way to get back home so she started crying.
“Why are you crying little girl?” a voice asked. Goldilocks looked up from her knees to see a gingerbread man.
Goldilocks sniffed, “I’m out here looking for the night blooming flower and now I have no way to get back home to the Bear’s house.”
“Well my name is the Gingerbread Man and I can give you directions to wherever you need to go.” He declared.
“Really? You would help me out?” Goldilocks asked in unbelief.
The Gingerbread Man just smiled, “Of course I would help out a lost little girl in the woods but….you have to catch me first.”
“What?!” Goldilocks exclaimed.
“You have to catch me before I give you any directions. It’s standard procedure.”
“Oh alright. You can’t be that hard to catch.”
The Gingerbread Man took off with Goldilocks trailing him. They hadn’t gone more than a few paces when he speed up yelling, “Run, run, run as fast as you can. You can’t catch me I’m the Gingerbread Man!”
Goldilocks chased him for what seemed like hours before she lost sight of him. As it turned out chasing the Gingerbread Man wasn’t such a good idea. She was now even more lost than before and in a part of the woods that she had never been in. She had had enough. She sat down under a tree to get some rest when a little girl in red cape approached her.
“Excuse me miss, but it’s not safe to be in these neck of the woods.” The little girl said.
“Oh really? And why is that?” Goldilocks asked grumpily. She was tired from chasing the Gingerbread Man and not in the mood to talk.
The little girl was nice though and answered, “Because I ran into a wolf not too far back and I’m sure he’s still around here somewhere. Why are you here anyways?”
“I’m lost and I need to find my way to the night blooming flower before I can go back to the Bear’s house.” Goldilocks sighed.
“Well it just so happens that I have some night blooming flowers right here in my basket that I picked a little while ago. You can have them if you want because I have no need for them.”
“Thank you. Well that takes care of the flowers, now I just need to find my way back home.”
“I can help you with that too, but can you travel with me to my grandmother’s house just incase the wolf tried to do something? I’ll point you in the right direction as soon as we get to her house.”
“That’s fine, just as long as I don’t have to chase you.”
End Notes: Yeah, I finally got some of it typed up. Not that much more. This was actually something I did in English class. We were doing radio shows and I really like this idea that we came up with. I’d like to thank my group member and give them some of the credit, Jessica and Corey, especially Corey, since it was mostly him and I who ended up writing the script. I’d also like to thank my mom and friend, Melissa, for helping me come up with this idea. It’s great when you have other people around that you can through ideas off of. I hope you guys enjoy it and much as we did putting it together. ~Jinks
