Once upon a time there lived a little girl. Her name was Hilda. She had very pretty golden hair. She lived with her grandparents near the forest. One day she went to the forest to pick flowers for her grandmother. She picked some pretty flowers. When Hilda wanted to go home, she couldn’t find the way. She walked on and on and at last she saw a house. She went into the house. There was nobody there. She saw three chairs at the table. She sat down on the biggest chair, but it was very big for her. The smaller chair was big for her, too. Hilda sat down on the smallest chair. She liked it best. Then she saw three bowls of soup on the table. She tasted some of the soup in the big blue bowl, but she did not like it. She tasted some of the soup in the smaller red bowl, but she did not like it, either. Then Hilda took some soup from the smallest yellow bowl. She liked it and ate all the soup from the bowl. Then Hilda saw three beds. She
climbed into the biggest bed. It was too big for her. She did not sleep there. Hilda did not like the smaller bed, either. She got into the bed. She liked it very much. She was very tired and soon fell asleep. It was the house of three bears.
