They played games, sang songs, and had fun together.
From that day on, Goldilocks and the three bears became the best of friends. Goldilocks learned to always be respectful of other people's things. And whenever they had a party, Goldilocks would always bring her favorite bowl of porridge - not too hot, not too cold, but just right.
