Gugulethu Sibanda, Golden Locks and the Bear

I decided to base my revisionist story on the 19th Century fairytale of, “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”. I chose this story because it was one of my favorite childhood stories ever told to me. Goldilocks was a very curios young girl who was never afraid to explore and that day when she was sent by her mother into the woods she did exactly that. She walked into a house after spotting bowls of porridge through the window and she walks in and eats the one that suites her taste and even goes further as to sleep in one of the beds. She has no idea that the house she walked into belongs to three bears and only when she wakes up does she realize this and she escapes never to be seen again. As I grew up I realized that this ending was too good to be true and the chances of that happening in real life were very slim. In my story I wanted to make it more relatable to a real world event. In the real world there are consequences to any decision that one makes and in doing so we must always be conscientious of the decisions we make because they could ultimately decide whether we live or we die. In my version curiosity kills the cat and unfortunately when the bears return she is killed by the little bear after he finds her sleeping in his bed.
