Goldilocks	comment	A classic folktale.Once Upon a Time, there was a little girl called Goldilocks, so-named for her blonde hair. One day, she took a walk in the woods and came to a house where three bears lived - a papa bear, a mama bear and a baby bear. The bears weren't home, but they'd left their door unlocked, so Goldilocks came in.She found three bowls of porridge in the kitchen. Being hungry, she tasted them: Papa Bear's was too hot, Mama Bear's was too cold, but Baby Bear's was just right, so she ate it. Then there were three chairs she tested. Papa Bear's was too hard, Mama Bear's was too soft, but Baby Bear's was just right â€” or it was until she sat on it and it broke.Then there were the bears' three beds. Papa Bear's was too hard, Mama Bear's was too soft, but Baby Bear's was just right, and she climbed in and fell fast asleep.Then the bears came home. They found evidence that someone had entered their house, eaten their food, used their furniture, etc. When they discovered the culprit, still sleeping in Baby Bear's bed, you can guess how it ended.Like many Fairy Tales, this one has evolved over the years. According to that other wiki, the original tale was probably that of Scrapefoot the vixen (as in a fox), who was an unwelcome guest at the bears' castle (yes, you read right. Castle). Robert Southey apparently heard this tale from an uncle and in 1837 became the first to publish it. However, he accidentally thought it was the wrong kind of vixen, which got her changed into a mean old woman who, after not being invited around to the bears' place, decides to go check it out for herself. She falls out the window and is never seen again. Goldilocks as we know her only turned up in Joseph Cundall's version 12 years later, and only to stop confusion with other old ladies in other fairy tales. Nor was she the only little girl; for a long time, she was dubbed Silverhair (and George MacDonald did a Shout-Out to the tale in The Golden Key by that title).Full text here, with a link to many variants of it.As with other fairy tales, we have seen Goldie and the bears get fractured until they are shattered. Notable adaptations include Bugs Bunny and the Three Bears and the Terrytoons version, the latter of which is notable for making the bears Italian, replacing the porridge with spaghetti, and giving us "SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY SPAGHETT!". We've also seen her get added to the lineup of the Dark Parables, which makes her not only an adult, but an Action Girl, and a supporting villain in Fables where she's a terrorist for hire.note And a bearfucker There's also Goldie & Bear, which takes place after the story, and depicts them as friends. The characters were used in the movie Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, where the Bears are a loving quartet of London Gangsters, and adopted Goldilocks into their own as she was an orphan. She acts as the brains of the outfit, and Mama and Papa Bear refer to her as their daughter.

In the older versions, they were very good-natured and heroic.

Goldilocks / int_3f45f1e6	comment	Adaptational Heroism: In Eleanor Mure's version of the story, Goldilocks was an unnamed older woman who broke into the house out of spite, since they refused to let her in. When the bears caught her, they punished her by trying to burn and drown her. When it didn't work, they impaled her on a steeple. In Southey's version, however, Goldilocks had no clear motive. Later versions of the story have Goldilocks being a naive child who didn't know what she was getting herself into, causing the bears to either scare her off or befriend her.

In recent versions, Goldilocks was reimagined as a child who entered a (seemingly) abandoned home in the woods and simply didn't know the owners were bears. Still, it's not the best idea to do what she did.

Goldilocks is a home intruder who spends most of the story actively committing unlawful entry, theft, and vandalism of private property, but depending on the version, it could be down to naÃ¯vetÃ© or childish naughtiness rather than true maliciousness. In the earliest versions, she was a mean lady who did everything out of spite.

(Of course, nowadays, there are beds with adjustable hardnesses on each side, but still.) It should be noted that in the earliest versions of the story, the bears were not identified as a family unit, so them all sleeping in different beds made more sense. The relations between the three bears is still ambiguous in some languages where they are only known by their sizes, such as the little bear, the middle bear and the big bear.
