Goldilocks and the Three Bears & Mangita and Larina | Fairy Tales and Stories for Kids

Once upon a time, right on the edge of the forest, lived a golden-haired girl. This golden-yellow-haired girl's name was Goldilocks. She had such amazing and admirable locks that everyone who saw her was mesmerized. But despite her sweetness, at times she could be a rather naughty little girl. Every time she stepped out to play, her mother would have to warn her to behave. Darling, please stay in the backyard and don't go into the woods. Deep into the forest, in a shack, lived a bear family. A broad-shouldered papa bear, a medium-sized mama bear, and a baby bear. Mama bear always woke up early to prepare oatmeal porridge for breakfast. One morning, baby bear woke up earlier than usual and wanted to eat his porridge. But it was too hot! Mama, can we go out for a walk in the woods until our porridge cools down? Mama, papa and baby bear left their porridges on the table and went out for a walk. The same morning, Goldilocks was playing in the backyard while waiting for her mum to prepare breakfast. But she was so bored of playing in the same yard all the time, and she was very curious about the deep parts of the forest. What would happen if I just went for a walk? She looked around, seeing that no one was around. She began running into the forest. When she got tired, she stopped and looked around. What a beautiful forest! Flowers, trees... Why didn't I come here before? She began to walk deeper into the forest. In the meantime, walking around with his family, the baby bear saw a beehive on the branch of a tree. Such a big beehive! I'm sure it is full of honey! Papa, can we eat some honey? No, my boy, that belongs to the bees. It's their home. We can't go in anybody's home and eat their food. It's not right. You're right. I think I will have to wait until we go home for my breakfast. Meanwhile, Goldilocks walked all by herself for such a long time. Finally, she got lost. She tried to turn back but could not make out the right way. She got really tired and hungry. She was almost in tears of her tiredness. She walked a little more and finally she came to the end of the road. And she came across the house of the bear family in between the trees. She quietly approached the house, walked around it, but she could not see anyone. She knocked on the door but nobody answered. Then she looked through the window. She saw three hot steamy plates on the table. She went back to the door again and this time she knocked. Hard. The door opened. Goldilocks was overjoyed. She looked in and yelled. Anybody home? When there was no answer, she entered. She approached the table. On the table, there were three bowls of porridge. One big, one medium-sized and one small. Because she was so hungry, she wanted to eat the big one first. But the moment she put the spoon in her mouth, her mouth burned. Because the porridge was still too hot. She immediately reached the medium bowl. But she did not want to eat this either because it was too cold. It's too cold. Finally, she dipped her spoon into the smallest one. This porridge is neither cold nor too hot. It's exactly the way I want it. So she ate all the porridge in the smallest bowl. When she was done with her breakfast and fell full, she wanted to sit on one of the three chairs in front of the chimney to rest for a while. One of the three chairs was a big one. The other one, medium. And the last one was a small one. First, she tried to sit on the big one, but she couldn't even climb on it. She tried the medium one, but this one was very hard. It was very uncomfortable. Finally, she sat down on the smallest one. This one was very comfortable and exactly her size. But suddenly, the chair broke into pieces with a very loud noise. Goldilocks found herself on the floor and she did not know what to do. She walked through to the next door. And here there were three beds. A big, a medium size and a small one. First, she tried the big bed. This one was too big for her and also too hard. Second one was a little bigger than her size, but also too soft. So she lied down on the third and smallest bed. This one was exactly her size and it was very comfortable. So comfortable that Goldilocks fell asleep right away. Whilst Goldilocks was sleeping, the bear family came back home. Papa Bear had some wood with him that he collected for the chimney. Mama Bear had fresh berries. And Baby Bear just could not wait to have his porridge. When they arrived home, they went straight to the table. Somebody tasted my porridge. Somebody also tasted my porridge. Then somebody also tasted my oatmeal porridge. Not only tasted it, also ate it all. They got up and started to look around. Papa Bear noticed his chair in front of the chimney. Somebody sat on my chair. Look, it's on a different spot. Somebody also sat on my chair. Somebody also sat on my chair, but broke it too. The bear family curiously went to the bedroom. Somebody lied on my bed. Look, how it's undone. Somebody lied on mine too. Somebody lied on my bed too, and is still sleeping in it. Papa Bear walked next to Baby Bear's bed and saw that someone really was sleeping in his bed. Slowly lifted up the blanket. They were really surprised to see a little girl sleeping in the bed. What is a little girl doing in our house? Tell this little girl to get out of my bed now. Waking up to Baby Bear's crying, Goldilocks saw three bears in front of her, and she ran out of the room in great fear. She went out of the house and started running without looking back. She got breathless from running, but she did not stop. And she didn't even know which way to go. Right at that moment, she saw her parents coming across from the forest. When she didn't end up going back home, they went out looking for her. Goldilocks was very happy to see her parents. She ran and hugged her mother. From now on, I will always listen to you. I will never leave without letting you know. Goldilocks hugged her parents really tight. From that day on, as she promised, she always listened to her parents and did nothing without having their permission. She was a well-behaved and kind girl. Once upon a time, there were two sisters named Mangita and Larina, who lived in a small cottage. Mangita was very hardworking, and in her free time, she worked at her father's fruit shop. Larina, on the other hand, loved traveling and having fun. When she got bored, she would look at herself by the river and brush her long hair. Today I'm even more beautiful than my sister. One day, Mangita and Larina's father went on a long journey that could not be undone. Although Mangita was very sad about her father's departure, Larina was happy. Now I can sit by the river all night. After her father left, Mangita began to work even harder. In the morning, she would sweep the floor, make delicious soup for lunch, and hang laundry. Larina's only entertainment was causing trouble for her sister. She would dirty the carpets at home and pour ice-cold water into the cooked soup. Why is the soup still cold? And why are these carpets dirty? I just cleaned them. The animals you fed must have dirtied them, huh? One day, Larina went out for a walk in the forest. She carelessly picked unripe fruits and threw them into the river. At that moment, an old woman walked slowly towards her. Hello, dear girl. I am very hungry. Could you give me some fruit too? Larina handed the old woman the wild strawberries she had just picked, which tasted bad. Auntie, you can eat as much as you want. These are the most delicious strawberries in the world. As soon as the old woman ate the strawberries, her stomach began to hurt. Are these strawberries delicious? Still, thank you. As Larina was returning home, the old woman fell asleep right there. While Mangita was out in the forest gathering vegetables for dinner, she saw the sick old woman. She immediately brought her home and put her to bed. What is this woman doing in our house? She smells awful. Don't say that, Larina. The woman is very sick. We must feed her healthy food to help her recover. Mangita prepared hot soups and made herbal teas for the old woman. Larina secretly poured out the soups and put dirt into the herbal teas. Larina, did you put dirt in this herbal tea? Tell me right now. No, I didn't put it. The old woman did. In a few days, the old woman had recovered. You are a kind-hearted girl, Mangita. If you ever get sick, eat these blueberries every day. You will recover right away. After a long time of doing all the chores by herself, Mangita became very tired and finally fell sick and went to bed. Larina, could you bring me the blueberries the old woman gave me? But Larina ate all the blueberries herself. There's nothing here. Maybe the birds you fed ate them all. Mangita became even weaker, falling asleep drenched in sweat. Larina left the house and went to the river to comb her hair. At that moment, the old woman appeared before her again. Hey, little girl, where's your sister? She went to pick fruit in sacks and went to work. What's it to you? The old woman realized that Larina had lied. She immediately went to their house to see Mangita. The old woman felt very sad when she saw the young girl who helped her, drenched in sweat and looking sick and cried for a long time. Larina, who was watching them from the window, laughed out loud. Just at that moment, the old woman turned into a beautiful fairy. Larina was very surprised when she saw the fairy. You're a fairy. I opened my house to you. You owe me. Let me have the most beautiful hair in the world. Quickly, use magic and grant my wish. Actually, when the fairy first saw Larina, she turned into an old woman to see if she was a good person. I gave you a chance to do one good deed, but you always did bad things. At that moment, the fairy waved her magic wand from side to side. Larina's hair turned into ivy. Ha! My hair! What happened to my hair? It became so ugly! Help! Larina ran to the river in fear and looked at her hair. As flies buzzed around her head, her ivy hair suddenly got stuck in the ground. I've become so ugly. I don't want to look at myself. At that moment, the fairy fed a blueberry to Mangita and she finally recovered and opened her eyes. Thank you, fairy. I feel much better now. The fairy waved her wand twice, turning their small cottage into a dazzling palace. Mangita was very surprised and impressed when she saw the palace. Kindness is always rewarded, young girl. This palace is your reward. Thank you, fairy. But what about my sister? What happened to her? Your sister will forever look at her ugly reflection by the river. I love my sister so much. What is the point of living alone in this huge palace without her? Give us back a happy life in our cottage, fairy. That is my only wish. The fairy was very happy to hear Mangita's words. First, she turned the magnificent palace back into the cottage. Then, she went to Larina and with her magic wand, she turned her ivy hair back to its old beautiful form. Larina hugged Mangita out of happiness. You saved me. I am so sorry. I will be a good person now. I promise. At that moment, Larina understood that the happiness of helping others is worth everything. Because happiness becomes more beautiful when shared.
