Fractured Fairytales

By Jerle Shannara

Goldylocks VS. Three Bears

Scene: We're back in the courtroom, this time at the trial of one Goldy Locks.

Judge: Read the charges against Miss Locks.

Bailiff: Miss Locks is charged with breaking and entering, theft and Bedomy.

Goldylocks: Bedomy? What's that?

Judge: Sleeping in a bed that doesn't belong to you. Well, these are some pretty serious charges for one so young. What do you have to say for yourself?

Goldylocks: Well, I was walking in the woods and---well---I got hungry. SO I went into this house---they didn't lock their door, and there were these three bowls of poridge. I tried some of each, but one was too hot. The second one was too cold, but the third one was just right! I couldn't just let it get cold!

Judge: Well, I'm afraid I'll have to sentence you to two-hundred hours of community service. Case dismissed!
