Once upon a time, there lived a curious girl named Goldilocks. She had flowing golden hair that shimmered in the sunlight. One day, while strolling through the forest, Goldilocks stumbled upon a cute little house. She wondered who lived there, so she decided to investigate.
As Goldilocks approached the house, she noticed three large chairs on the porch. With a tilt of her head, she observed their different sizes. First, she tried the biggest chair but frowned and shook her head in disapproval. Then, she attempted the middle-sized chair, but it seemed too small as she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Finally, she discovered the smallest chair and let out a cheerful giggle as her face brightened up.
Coming inside, she spotted three bowls of porridge on the dining table. Goldilocks reached for the first bowl and took a whiff. Wrinkling her nose, she presented a look of disgust as she shook her head vigorously. Then, she sampled the second bowl, but it was too hot. She fanned her face and flapped her hands to convey the heat. Finally, she tasted the smallest bowl and her face lit up with delight. She nodded her head in approval with a big smile.
After savoring the porridge, Goldilocks felt a bit tired and decided to find somewhere to rest. So, she proceeded up the stairs, where she discovered three beds. With an excited gasp, she tested the largest bed first. She lay down and squirmed uncomfortably, shaking her head side to side. The middle-sized bed didn't fare any better as she raised her shoulders and shrugged, indicating it was unsuitable. Finally, she climbed onto the smallest bed and her whole body seemed to relax, she let out a contented sigh and closed her eyes.
Meanwhile, the three bears who lived in the house returned from their walk in the forest. Papa Bear's eyes widened in shock as he entered the living room and saw his chair shifted and a look of displeasure on his face. Mama Bear noticed her porridge bowl moved and her face showed signs of confusion. Baby Bear rushed upstairs and discovered his bed had been used, causing his whole body to slump in disappointment.
As the bears investigated further, they saw Goldilocks sleeping soundly. Each bear's face displayed a mixture of surprise and concern. Papa Bear furrowed his brows as he urgently signed to Mama Bear. Mama Bear signaled forth with a gentle smile, indicating they should not wake her.
The bears decided to wait for Goldilocks to wake up. When she finally stirred, she opened her eyes and saw the three bears standing in front of her. Her face expressed a blend of shock, guilt, and apology. She quickly sat up and signed "I'm sorry" with a deep frown, dropping her head slightly.
The bears looked at each other, and a wave of forgiveness swept over them. Papa Bear extended his arms and offered a small smile as a sign of acceptance. Mama Bear mirrored his actions as she inclined her head in forgiveness. Lastly, Baby Bear stretched out his arms, his face filled with forgiveness and warmth.
Goldilocks breathed a sigh of relief and reciprocated the sign for thanks, her face lighting up with gratitude and relief. The bears kindly gestured for her to join them for a meal at their cozy home. From that day forward, Goldilocks and the bears became good friends, and they learned the importance of understanding and forgiveness.
And so, the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears taught everyone the value of respecting others' belongings and kindness towards one another, thanks to the power of non-manual markers, body shifts, classifiers, and signs.
