TEE THREE BEARS 113 And the Middling-sized Bear cried, in a Middling-sized Voice : "Who has been sitting on my CHAIR?" But the Teeny Tiny Bear cried out, in a Teeny Tiny Voice of anger: "Who has been sitting on my chair and sat the bottom out?" By this time the Bears were sure that some one had been in their house quite lately ; so they looked about to see if some one were not there still. There was cert a i n 1 y no one downstairs, so they went upstairs to their bedroom. On the way the little Bear slipped and fell, and Goldilocks dreamt she heard thunder. As soon as the Great Big Bear looked at his bed, he cried out, in his Great Big Voice : "WHO HAS BEEN LYING ON MY BED?" And the Middling-sized Bear, seeing that the coverlet of his middling-sized bed was all rumpled, followed the example of the Great Big Bear, and cried out, in a Middlingsized Voice: "Who has been lying on my bed?" But the Teeny Tiny Bear cried out, in a Teeny Tiny Voice of astonishment: THE BEARS PURSUE GOLDILOCKS "Who has been lying on my bed and lies there still?" Now, when the Great Big Bear began to speak, Goldilocks dreamt that the storm had ceased, and a big bumble-bee was buzzing in the room, and when the Middling-sized Bear began to speak she dreamt that it was flying out of the window, but when the Teeny Tiny Bear began to speak she dreamt that the bee had come back and stung her on the ear, and up she jumped. Oh ! how f rightened she was when she saw the three Bears standing beside her. She hopped out of bed and in a second was out thru the open window. The Bears looked after her ; but Bears are not good jumpers, so they had to go downstairs and out at the door, and Goldilocks had a good start. When they found they could not catch her, they went home and talked the matter over; but Goldilocks ran on and on until she fell down in a heap on the ground, because she was too tired to run any more. And what do you think? It was her own mother who picked her up, because in her fright she had run straight home without knowing it. Jack Spratt adored the opera, his wife preferred the piny. And so they fought and quarreled for many a weary day. "I hate the actors' voices," cried Jack; "they make me sick!" "I hate your silly, mushy songs," his wife retorted, quick. But now there's harmony and peace, they neither quarrel nor fight, You'll see them at the Photoshow. both smiling, every night.
