Goldilocks and the Bear Detective Brigade

Once upon a time, in a sunny forest, Goldilocks was skipping along the forest path to visit her friends, the Three Bears. She hummed a cheerful tune until she remembered the tales she’d heard about the Big Bad Wolf, how he had almost devoured the poor three little pigs and had devoured Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother! He had been close to gobbling up Little Red Riding Hood, poor Little Red she thought. “Oh no! I better warn the bears!” she exclaimed, picking up her pace. “Hello, bears!” Goldilocks called as she flung open the door of their cozy cottage. Inside, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear were gathered around the table trying to fix baby bear's chair that had “mysteriously broken” for the 10th time this week. “What’s the big rush, Goldilocks?” Papa Bear asked, wiping porridge off his chin. “The Big Bad Wolf, I think that he is nearby!” Baby Bear looked confident, “Don't worry Goldi, If he really is I will throw a pie at him!” “I don't think throwing a pie at him will do anything, Baby Bear,” Goldilocks chuckled. “I know, how about we go in disguise, we could be detectives!” Baby Bear said excitedly. “Actually, that's not a bad idea” Said Goldilocks. “Alright, team, it’s time to put on our detective hats! We need to track down the Big Bad Wolf before he sneaks up on us!”

Goldi, Mama, Papa and baby bear put on their detective hats and got their notepads. “Let’s lure the Big Bad Wolf with a clever trap! Goldilocks suggested. “Great Idea Goldi!” Mamma Bear says. They began by making decoys of themselves and their little house. Next they talked loudly and made noise so the Wolf would come to them. Minutes later, they heard rustling in the bushes. The Big Bad Wolf peeked around the corner, his nose twitching. “What’s this? Have I found where that pesky little girl and the 3 bears live? This could be my lucky day!” he said to himself. Goldilocks whispered to the bears, “He’s falling right into our trap!” As the wolf paced back and forth, Goldi and Baby bear pulled up the net and trapped him. The wolf, shocked, looked back, wide-eyed. “What?! I’ve been fooled by ignorant preposterous foolish ludicrous insane children” he exclaimed, looking around for an escape. Before the wolf could say another word, Mama Bear tossed a feather boa over him, laughing. “Looks like we caught you in style, Mr. Wolf! What do you have to say for yourself?” The wolf sighed, realizing he was outsmarted by a team of bear detectives and a clever girl. “Fine, fine! Just let me go, and I promise to stop sneaking around!” “Sorry, but no can do mean bad big wolf. The police are on their way!” Baby Bear said enthusiastically. With a sigh of defeat, the wolf nodded. “Okay, okay! I’ll start knocking! I I… I promise not to eat your grandmother! Maybe I’ll even bring you some donuts next time.” Goldilocks and the bears burst into laughter. Just as the wolf had just about enough the police came rushing. “Thank you Goldi, Papa, Mama, and Baby bear. We’ll take it from here.” said the chief officer. “Mr. Wolf, you are under arrest for attempting to scare everyone, trying to eat grandmothers, and generally being a troublemaker!” the rabbit declared, “You’re going to jail!” And from that day on, Goldilocks and the Three Bears lived happily ever after. The End.
