    Here is another "three bears" question.  In the story "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" Daddy Bear's chair is "too hard", Mommy Bear's chair is "too soft", and although Baby Bear's chair is "just right," it breaks when Goldilocks sits on it.

    So assuming the table is too tall for her to easily reach the three bowls, what chair does she choose to sit on?

    Here are some possible answers I've considered:

    • Goldilocks doesn't sit on a chair, but instead manages to reach the bowls which are already placed at the appropriate places on the table and are easily in reach.  Luckily she doesn't scald herself on the hot porridge.
    • I have a printed book which appears to show her opting to stand up on Daddy Bear's chair. Probably the best option, all things considered.
    • This may be a mis-telling of the original story in which the Daddy Bear's chair was "too big", the Baby Bear's chair was "too small, and broke when she sat on it", but the Mommy Bear's chair was "just right".

    Maybe she eats it on the sofa while watching a bit of tv.

    Mommy bears chair is the right answer. daddy's porridge is either too hot or empty(being impatient, he ate before alll 3 left) , and mommy bear must have served herself on a large bowl and left food to cool by itself. babys food must be too less for Goldilocks

     

    hey but r u looking for funny answers?

    Goldilocks put all 3 at gunpoint and told them to give all food and ate it all without having to use any of their chairs

    With regard to the temperature of the porridge: why would the bowls cool at different rates?  Did Momma Bear serve her porridge far ahead of time, so it would be cold, and Papa Bear's just as they were ready to eat, and Baby Bear's somewhere in between?

    It seems more likely that "too hot", "too cold", and "just right" refer to the spiciness.  The bears went for a walk, because all the bowls were too hot, with respect to temperature.  Poppa' porridge, however, was loaded with the hot pepper extract of his choice, Momma Bear's had none, and Poppa insisted that Baby Bear get started with just a drop of Tabasco, to put some fur on his chest.
