ANN: May be sometimes. But I prefer watching TV, I'm a telly addict.

I usually watch TV for 4 or 5 hours a day.

GOLDILOCKS (hidden): Here I am! Sam, where are you?

SAM: Have you heard her story?

ANN: What a bore. As far as I remember there are some cartoons… They are extremely popular. A stick falls down and hits her.

ANN: Ah! What's this?

GOLDILOCKS (hidden): A big load of nothing.

SAM: She is really awful. Come away!

(GOLDILOCKS appears with a long stick in her hand.

GOLDILOCKS. Who comes first to the hill may sit where he will.

SCENE III

SETTING: In the forest, near the fence leading to the bear’s house

Bears appear.

JIMMY, THE BEAR (to the others): I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we had got rid of the girl. The bad news is that she promised to come back. GOLDILOCKS (singing).”It's funny how often they say to me, "Jane, have you been a good girl? Have you been a good girl?"And when they have said it, they say it again.” Where shall I go out? Come to see my bears. That's a brilliant idea! I love them all, but especially their porridge. I've never eaten such porridge. Butter and sugar, honey and nuts… mmm. My favourite meal. The house must be somewhere here. (Sees a board with a sign "NO GIRLS") I'll go to the left, then turn to the right, cross the road and through the forest… left, right, left, right (turning about). Where can I get information? (Sees Jimmy). Good morning, sir! This is a pleasant surprise!

JIMMY, THE BEAR: I don’t think so. Did you bring a rifle?

GOLDILOCKS: If I had a rifle the sky would fall. If the sky fell, we would catch larks. Good-bye, sir.

She comes away and then the second bear appears.

JIMMY, THE BEAR: She is really awful. She is the worst thing in the world.

JENNY, THE BEAR: She knows how many beans make five. But concentrate… she is coming.

The girl comes in and meets ALEX.

ALEX, THEIR SON (out of the forest, singing):

I think the girls are very nice,

Their locks are long

Their faces are white and lips are pink.

GOLDILOCKS. Warning! I'm an awful girl. I'm really awful. I am the worst thing in the world.

ALEX, THEIR SON. You're the most beautiful in the world. You are the best thing in the world.

GOLDILOCKS (impressed). Really?

(Two people appear)

ANN. Is it the end?

JENNY, THE BEAR. Yes, such a lovely end. You know, unusual endings make me

forget the problems of everyday life.
