About Goldilocks
Goldilocks and the Three Bears is an old folktale based on an even older folktale where the protagonist is not a golden-haired girl but an old and unkempt woman. In both versions, the protagonist – Goldilocks or the old woman – intrudes into the house of three bears and proceeds to use their possessions and eat their porridge while the bears are out taking a walk. When the bears return home, they discover her and she has to run away.
