Goldilocks and the Bears
Goldilocks is a young girl who tries to break into the home of an angry bear. The story has multiple original versions, and i'd like to share one of them with you. This version had goldilocks as an old woman who didn't accidentally come across the cottage, but deliberately sought it out. She was imprudent without considering the consequences. In other words, she helped herself to a home that was not her own and food of others without asking permission. It's often used as a warning or as a reminder that being too curious can get you into serious trouble. Remember, goldilocks, curiosity killed the cat. Don't do anything stupid.
