THE THREE BEARS

I

_The papa bear._ That soup is hot.

It must cool.

We will take a walk.

II

_Silver-Hair._ Tap! tap! tap!

No one at home.

I will go in.

What is that on the table?

It is three bowls of soup.

I am hungry.

(_Tasting of the soup in the big bowl._) That is too hot.

(_Tasting of soup in middle-sized bowl._) That is too cold.

(_Tasting of soup in little bowl._) That is just right.

It is good.

I will eat a little.

III

I am tired.

Here are three chairs.

That is too high.

That is too wide.

This is just right.

I will rest here.

Oh, it broke!

IV

I am sleepy.

I will go upstairs.

Here are three beds.

That is too hard.

That is too soft.

This is just right.

I will sleep here.

_Papa bear._ SOMEBODY HAS BEEN TASTING MY SOUP.

_Mamma bear._ _Somebody has been tasting my soup._
