金发姑娘和三只熊
Once upon a time, three bears lived together in a little house in the woods. There was a great big Father Bear, a middle-sized Mother Bear and a tiny little Baby Bear.
One morning, Mother Bear made porridge for breakfast. It was too hot to eat straight away, so the three bears went for a walk in the woods while it cooled down.
While they were out, a little girl called Goldilocks came along. She saw the house, peeped through the window and, when nobody answered her knock, she opened the door and walked in.
On the table were three bowls of porridge. She tasted the porridge in the great big bowl. "This is too hot!" she said. She tasted the porridge in the middle-sized bowl. "This is too cold!" Then she tasted the porridge in the tiny little bowl. "This is just right," she said, and she ate it all up.
Next, she saw three chairs. She sat in the great big chair. "This is too hard!" She sat in the middle-sized chair. "This is too soft!" Then she sat in the tiny little chair. "This is just right," she said. But she was too heavy for it, and the chair broke into pieces.
By now, Goldilocks was feeling tired, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay on the great big bed, but it was too high at the head. She lay on the middle-sized bed, but it was too high at the foot. Then she lay on the tiny little bed. It was just right, and she fell fast asleep.
Soon the three bears came home.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled Father Bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," said Mother Bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," cried Baby Bear, "and they've eaten it all up!"
Then they looked at the chairs. "Someone's been sitting in my chair," said Father Bear. "Someone's been sitting in my chair," said Mother Bear. "Someone's been sitting in my chair," sobbed Baby Bear, "and they've broken it!"
The bears went upstairs. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed," said Father Bear. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed," said Mother Bear. "Someone's been sleeping in my bed," squeaked Baby Bear, "and she's still there!"
At that moment, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears staring at her. She jumped out of bed, leapt through the window and ran home as fast as her legs could carry her. And the three bears never saw her again.
从前,树林里有一座小房子,里面住着三只熊:一只又高又大的熊爸爸,一只不大不小的熊妈妈,还有一只小小的熊宝宝。
一天早上,熊妈妈做了麦片粥当早餐。粥太烫了,没法马上吃,于是三只熊趁粥变凉的时候,到树林里去散步。
它们出门的时候,一个名叫金发姑娘的小女孩走了过来。她看见了这座房子,从窗户往里偷看。敲了门没人应,她就推开门走了进去。
桌上放着三碗粥。她尝了尝大碗里的粥。“太烫了!”她说。她又尝了尝中碗里的粥。“太凉了!”接着她尝了尝小碗里的粥。“刚刚好。”她说着,把粥吃得一干二净。
然后,她看见了三把椅子。她坐到大椅子上。“太硬了!”她坐到中椅子上。“太软了!”接着她坐到小椅子上。“刚刚好。”她说。可是她太重了,小椅子一下子就散了架。
这时候,金发姑娘觉得累了,就上楼走进了卧室。她躺到大床上,可是床头太高了。她躺到中床上,可是床尾太高了。接着她躺到小床上,刚刚好,她一下子就睡着了。
没过多久,三只熊回家了。
“有人吃过我的粥。”熊爸爸粗声粗气地说。
“有人吃过我的粥。”熊妈妈说。
“有人吃过我的粥,”熊宝宝哭了起来,“还全都吃光了!”
接着它们看了看椅子。“有人坐过我的椅子。”熊爸爸说。“有人坐过我的椅子。”熊妈妈说。“有人坐过我的椅子,”熊宝宝抽抽搭搭地说,“还把它坐坏了!”
三只熊上了楼。“有人在我的床上睡过。”熊爸爸说。“有人在我的床上睡过。”熊妈妈说。“有人在我的床上睡过,”熊宝宝尖声叫道,“她还在这儿呢!”
就在这时,金发姑娘醒了过来,看见三只熊正盯着她。她跳下床,从窗户跳了出去,拼命往家跑。从那以后,三只熊再也没见过她。
