Goldilocks and the Three Bears

이것도 미국 아이들에게(또 그 부모에게) 유명한 동화인 것 같다. 종현이에게 읽어준 것만 해도 각각 다른 책으로 5권 정도 된다.

골디락스(Goldilocks)라는 여자 아이가 아빠 곰, 엄마 곰, 아기 곰으로 구성된 곰 가족의 집을 침입(?)하여 발생한 사건을 다룬 이야기..(소개가 거창하네). 곰 가족이 산책을 다녀오는 사이에 집을 여기저기 돌아다니며 아기곰의 죽을 다 먹고, 의자도 부수어 놓고, 곰가족이 돌아올 때까지 아기 곰 침대에서 자다가 곰 가족이 돌아와서 깜짝 놀라 깨어 도망간다.

같은 구문이 반복되며 단어만 바꿔가며 단어의 반대어를 알게 해주고(예: Hot - Cold), 문장 자체도 같은 구문이 계속 되어 한 두 번 읽어보면 연극 연습처럼 목소리 톤 바꿔가며 읽어줄 수도 있다. (종현이는 내가 아기 곰의 대사를 아이들 우는 듯한 소리로 흉내내며 읽어주는 것을 좋아한다.)

--------------------------
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks.  She  went for a walk in the forest.  Pretty soon, she came upon a house.  She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry.  She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.

"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.

So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.

"This porridge is too cold," she said

So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.

"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.

After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired.  So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs.  Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.  

"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.

So she sat in the second chair.

"This chair is too big, too!"  she whined.

So she tried the last and smallest chair.

"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed.  But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!

Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom.  She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right.  Goldilocks fell asleep.

As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.

"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.

They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.

Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears.  She screamed, "Help!"  And she jumped up and ran out of the room.  Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest.  And she never returned to the home of the three bears.
