Once upon a time, in the deep woods found in a secluded, far away land, there lived together a family of three bears: the huge bear, the middle-sized bear, and the little wee bear. They were good-natured and tidy creatures who had their own porridge bowls, chairs, and beds. One day, when the three bears went out to take a walk in the woods while their porridge cooled, a young girl with hair as radiant as pure gold discovered the family's house and entered uninvited. Upon seeing the three porridges neatly prepared on the dining table, the young girl settled on the smallest plate and finished it. As she wandered around the house, she eventually took a liking on the little wee bear's belongings and ended up breaking his tiny chair before finally falling asleep on his tiny bed.The three bears returned only to realize that somebody had been prowling about in their house while they were away. The little wee bear, upon seeing his empty plate and broken chair, wept. Furious, the huge bear and the middle-sized bear searched the whole house for the intruder and later found the culprit sleeping soundly on the little bear's bed. The huge bear slowly made his way near the young girl. He took a deep breath and then roared with all his might, waking up the golden-haired intruder and scaring the living daylights out of her. The family of three bears were quite pleased with the look of utmost panic etched all over her face and expected the young girl not to do such a thing ever again for as long as she lived.
But... As the young girl frantically looked for her way out of the house, knocking down several furnitures as she did so, she spotted a wooden rifle neatly covered by a rug near the biggest bed in the room. With her hands that shook at the weight of the heavy weapon and with her nerves that would not calm down upon her current predicament, the young girl took a shot without an aim, never stopping until the whole room was still.
The young girl's heartbeat slowly settled down. Her hair, which was as radiant as pure gold, now shone with specks of crimson blood.
