Late
“It’s time to go,” Mum called out as she walked to find James.
Mum poked her head into James’ room and shook her head. James was sitting on his bed watching T.V.
“You are not ready to go!” said Mum. “We will be late for the doctor.”
“My arm is feeling better. I don’t think I need to go anymore,” said James.
Mum folded her arms. “Go and get ready,” she said crossly.
James groaned. He put on his shoes and his blue shirt. He also took his new book with him in case he had a long wait. As he walked out, he sprinkled some food in the fishbowl. He watched as the two fish swam around and around. He waved goodbye and walked out the door.
“OK, Mum. I’m ready,” James said. He looked around. Where was Mum? He looked out the window. He saw Mum waiting in the car with an angry look on her face. “Oh no,” he said to himself.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Once upon a time, there lived three bears and a little girl called Goldilocks.
Goldilocks saw a house in the middle of the woods. She went inside. She saw three bowls of porridge on the table.
She tasted the biggest bowl and said, “This porridge is too salty!”
She tasted the medium-sized bowl and said, “This porridge is too sweet!”
She tasted the smallest bowl and said, “This porridge is just right!”
She ate it all up.
Goldilocks saw three chairs.
She sat in the biggest chair and said, “This chair is too big!”
She sat in the medium-sized chair and said, “This chair is too big, too!”
She sat in the smallest chair and said, “This chair is just right!”
Then it broke.
Goldilocks went upstairs and saw three beds.
She lay down on the biggest bed and said, “This bed is too hard!”
She lay down on the medium-sized bed and said, “This bed is too soft!”
She lay down on the smallest bed and said, “This bed is just right!”
She fell asleep.
The three bears came home.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge!” said Daddy Bear.
“Someone’s been eating my porridge!” said Mummy Bear
“Someone’s been eating my porridge, and it’s all gone!” cried Baby Bear.
The three bears saw the chairs.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair!” said Daddy Bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair!” said Mummy Bear.
“Someone’s been sitting in my chair and it’s broken!” cried Baby Bear.
The three bears went upstairs and saw the three beds.
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed!” said Daddy Bear.
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed!” said Mummy Bear.
“Someone’s been sleeping in my bed, and she’s still there!” cried Baby Bear
Goldilocks woke up and screamed. She ran away and never went into the woods again.
