Goldi Gets The Chair

If you ever ask "then what?" Told to my children when they were young. Back then I worked for the Police Depart and all fairy tales had a police theme. Written down for my grandkids

 

"Felicia Goldi Locks, you are so charged with breaking and entry, as well as, destruction of private property! How do you plea?" Boomed the grand owl judge.

 

"Not guilty", squeaked Goldi Locks.

 

"So be it. Let the proceedings begin. " The judge bellowed.

 

Papa bear whispered in the ear of the fox, and the whole forest was very still to hear what would be next.

 

"Is it true, on the first day of spring, you entered the home of the three bear’s without invitation?" Asked the fox.

 

"Well yah, see," said Goldi Locks.

 

"Yes or no" Stated the fox.

 

"Yes" she mumbled.

 

"And did you eat the porridge of mama bear, after papa bear’s bowl was broken?" Pointed the fox to exhibit "A" which was a broken blue bowl.

 

"Well I was hungry," Said the girl.

 

"Yes or no Miss Locks!" Sneered the fox.

 

"I did, yes." She confessed.

 

"Then after robbing the bear’s of their breakfast did you then break baby bear’s chair? As if, breaking the bowl of papa bear wasn’t enough!" Badgered the fox.

 

"Yes", she cried.

 

"What of my down comforter?" shouted mama bear caught up in the moment.

Two mice and raccoon gasped at the confession, a rooster let out a cackle in protest. Why, the three bear’s were the most liked family around, even the honeybee’s were offended. Over come with his emotions, a small chipmunk through an acorn at Goldi. He had  great aim; it hit her right in the forehead. Her eyes flew wide in disbelief, and gently she rubbed the small red spot, it left behind.

 

"There will be none of that." Said the Judge, as his feathers fell to the ground.

"Is anyone here to speak in your behalf?" Asked the fox, peering over his spectacles as the Wise old owl looked down from his lofty perch, with a "who".

 

 Miss Locks only shook her head. The jury kept perfect time with Goldi, as they too shook their heads along with her. The judge gave a nod to the bailiff, Billy Porcupine, who had Miss Locks stand. The big bad wolf stood in the ready, just incase, this turned into a capital offence. Capital crimes are umm, umm good thought the wolf.

 

"Guilty" bellowed the judge. "You will spend the next thirty days making a bowl for Mr. Bear and a chair for little Charlie Bear. Which will be payment in full to the three bear’s, for your crime." His command was echoed with a loud blow from his gavel.

 

From that day forward the three bear’s locked their front door, before going for a stroll, and Roco the guard dog keep an eager watch over their humble home.

When the kids were little I always but a police twist on the old bedtime stories and they loved it. I always thought it would be great to take those old stories and insert a parents career as part of the theme, police, fire, beautician.. .

[Einstein Noodle]

its a great idea ... if i had thought of it .. they would be carpenter's and then nurse's story slants ... well ... i do have grandchildren .. i think i will give it a go when we next are together ;)

[Cherrie Palmer]

well let's see one:)

[Einstein Noodle]

[light and ashes]

Cute, locking your doors is always a good thing to practice.

[Robert Trakofler]

LOL that goldilocks got her lesson and a fair trial was had by all in the forest:) I am however suspicious of her woodworking skills and have feeling the bears got the short end of the stick:) What lucky things those grandchildren of yours dear Cherrie:) :) :)

[Cherrie Palmer]

I want to write another on of these but make her a cook who hates porridge

[barleygirl]

One of your best stories & it's not even a work of literary art (yet!) Your love of entertaining children may be your best muse after all (implying you have a number of them *wink! wink!*) Even tho this seems spontaneous, it's also nailed down in a tight, clever sequence of events! I love the part where all the animals react (5th from last paragraph) . . . that paragraph makes me want to write something in a similar vein! I'm totally envious of how clever you are! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Cherrie Palmer]

I would love to see that, I told Pat I always wanted to write several of the same story (parents work) jobs had a theme to the story fireman, maid, hair dresser,...

[Cherrie Palmer]

I love writing all types of things but I do love nature childrens stories the best.

[Cherrie Palmer]

But you know sometimes a writer just wants to kill someone and wa-la I'm off and running.

[barleygirl]

I totally understand the need to kill someone. I've always been against violence, never watch it in movies, etc. But then one day I killed off someone in a story who really deserved it & I've never been the same since *wink! wink!*

[Cherrie Palmer]

Lol, it's funny the many faces a writer can have. I see why some people use a pen name for certain genres.
Dr. Seuss in the morning and Koontz by sunset could confuse the reader.

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Cherrie... you are gifted with the "spirit of love"
to entertain the sweetness of the three bears courage
against all odds. To entwine you career with notions of
make-believe often turn out to be more realistic than
honey bees for Pooh Bear in the hundred acres woods.
truly, Pat

[Cherrie Palmer]

I always wanted to write several of these stories with a job theme, fireman, teacher. Baker... where kids could see a fun aspect to their parents work.

[Lorry]

I always saw through that little Miss innocent, whiter than white routine as a kid, that basically taught us it was okay to help yourself.... Then lying on bed in the dark, made us think scary people could come in and help themselves to MY coco pops!
I always made my parents prove the door was locked after that 😀

[Cherrie Palmer]

When the kids were little all the old bedtime storys had a police theme.
Lol

[Lorry]

The big bad wolf is up for parole in 2083 😀

[Shep]

Oh my, it made me laugh out loud just what I need to end my day with... A very good read indeed

[Cherrie Palmer]

Thank you my grandkids loved Goldi.
Goldi my go back as a cook.

[madmocha]

::BIG GRIN:: Awesome story Cherrie. I really...really (underlined) think you have a marketable children's book with a series of these. Please don't discount that. You have the creativity, and definitely the talent. I would most certainly be at the front of the line at the bookstore. Wow.

[red_saphyre]

this is way cute.... i love it
