The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears has three different versions. The first one tells of a bad-tempered old woman who enters the forest with three bears. When the animals return, she falls out of the window and is never seen again.
The story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears has been adapted to various other forms of media.
In Robert Southey's version of the story, three bears live in a house in the woods. They are generally good-natured, friendly, and helpful. When a woman approaches their house, they send her out because she is a disgrace to them. The old woman opens the window and lifts the latch. She walks in and eats the Wee Bears porridge. After settling into his bed, the old woman falls asleep.
The story of the Three Bears was first recorded in narrative format by Robert Southey in 1837, and it was later published anonymously as The Story of the Three Bears by George Nicol.
