"Si Goldilocks at ang Tatlong Oso" is a Filipino children's story that retells the classic fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with a local touch. In this version, the story follows Goldilocks, a curious and adventurous young girl who stumbles upon a cottage in the forest.
As in the traditional tale, Goldilocks enters the cottage of the three bears—Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear—while they are away. She explores the house, trying out their porridge, chairs, and beds. Each item is described with a blend of Filipino cultural elements, making the story relatable to local readers.
Goldilocks tastes the porridge, finds the perfect chair, and settles into the beds, eventually falling asleep in Baby Bear's bed. When the bears return home, they discover the intrusion and find Goldilocks asleep in Baby Bear's bed. The story usually concludes with Goldilocks waking up, realizing her mistake, and quickly running away from the cottage.
The Filipino version of the story might include local settings, customs, or foods, adding a unique flavor to the classic tale. Themes of curiosity, respect for others' property, and the importance of boundaries are central to the story, providing both entertainment and valuable lessons for young readers.
