Once upon a time, a little girl had golden curls that shone in the sunshine. That is why everyone called her Goldilocks. One bright morning, she skipped across the meadow, swinging her little basket.
Further on, the meadow became a cool, shady forest. Alone among the tall pines stood a little house with a yellow door. Goldilocks was tired and wanted a drink. Knock, knock! She tapped on the door.
