[I used to write a lot of fiction but I got away from that when I pretty much lost everything I had several years ago, including all my short stories and half-written novels. Lately I've been giving myself goofy little exercises like this one in hopes that someday I'll get the creative streak back from my ill-spent youth ...]
Once upon a time, there was a little girl with long golden curly locks. Everyone called her "Goldilocks." One day Goldilocks went for a walk in the woods. She spied a little cottage nestled away in the undergrowth. She was a very curious girl so she went to investigate. She peeped though one of the open windows and saw Papa bear sitting in his favorite chair reading the newspaper.
Goldilocks had never, ever, seen a bear before, much less one that could read a newspaper.
Goldilocks was no dummy. She quietly tiptoed away. "I shouldn't have eaten that red and white mushroom," she thought. "It clearly doesn't agree with me!"
