A classic folktale.

Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Goldilocks whose hair was the color of gold. 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, and so Goldilocks came in.

Then the bears came home. They saw the evidence of the break-in, the eating of porridge, the sitting in chairs, the sleeping in beds. Goldilocks didn't wake up until they got there, so you can guess how it ends.

Like many [[Fairy Tales]], this one has evolved over the years. [[wikipedia:Goldilocks|According to that other wiki]], the original tale was probably that of ~~Scrapfoot~~ 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 was the first to publish it. However, he accidentally thought it was [[The Vamp|the wrong kind of vixen]] who, in turn, got changed into a mean old woman who, after not being invited around to the bears' place, [[Curiosity Is a Crapshoot|decides to go check it out for herself]]. She falls out the window and is never seen again. Goldilocks as we know her only turns up in Joseph Cundall's version 12 years later and only to stop confusion with other old ladies in other fairy tales.

As with other fairy tales, we have seen Goldie and the bears get [[Fractured Fairy Tale|fractured until they are shattered]].
