Goldilocks and the many houses

We came up with a new take on the classic fairytale yesterday. It went a little like this:

Goldilocks and the boy went in search of houses with the very nice Margaret.

House #1: Goldilocks was entranced by the beauty of the outside of the house. It was adorable, surrounded by trees and a post fence. The front entrance was a gorgeous sunporch, however pink it may have been. When Goldilocks and the boy entered the bedrooms, however, they remarked, "these rooms are tooooooo small". So they left in search of the perfect home.

House #2: Goldilocks and the boy found much to like about the outside of the next house, but alas, there was an evil curse placed on the lock, and they couldn't enter the building. They had to leave the house unentered and move on.

House #3: This was the house Goldilocks and the boy were most looking forward to seeing. The road was lined with trees and the entrance of the house was cute as a button. The downstairs of the house was just the right size. Goldilocks and the boy walked upstairs - alas! It was tooooo small. Only a bed could fit into the room, and nary a piece of furniture more. So Goldilocks and the boy moved on.

House #4: This house was the scariest of them all! Surely there must have been some scary monster living here. The wallpaper was peeling, the linoleum was coming up, and it rained inside of the porch! They left in a hurry!

House #5: The fifth house was occupied by a very nice lady who took Goldilocks, Margaret and the boy on a grand tour. The nice lady told Goldilocks and the boy everything they wanted to know about the house (and more). Although Goldilocks and the boy weren't sure if this was the house for them, they decided to keep it on the list.

House #6: The path to this house was long and treacherous. The driveway was dirt and very long. Their carriage almost became stuck in the mud on the way there. There was a lot of land that came with this house and an above ground pool, but the living/dining/kitchen room was too small. Since all of these rooms were combined into one, Goldilocks and the boy couldn't see all of their furniture fitting into such a teeny tiny place - once again - tooooo small!

Goldilocks and the boy are still looking to find a home that is juuuuust right.

Stay tuned for more the next chapter.
