The Three Bears by Anonymous
"The Three Bears" by Anonymous is a classic children's story written in the early to mid-19th century. This narrative poem presents a whimsical tale of three bears who live in a wood, highlighting themes of curiosity and the consequences of intruding on others. The story takes a light-hearted approach to explore the adventures of a young girl named Goldenhair as she encounters the bears in their home. In the story, the three
bears—Bruin, Mammy Muff, and their son Tiny-cub—return home from a walk to find that a girl named Goldenhair has entered their house. She samples their porridge, sits in their chairs, and eventually lies down in Tiny-cub's bed. When the bears discover the intruder, they are initially upset and roar out their questions, highlighting the chaos caused by Goldenhair's actions. However, the story takes a comedic turn as Goldenhair manages to escape through a window, evoking a mix of tension and amusement. Ultimately, the tale suggests that while some parts may seem like a fanciful dream, the warning against wandering into others' spaces remains timeless. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
