THE THREE BEARS
Ⅱ
pa-pa down-stairs por-ridge Sil-ver-locks
rough squeak-y up-stairs screamed
1. When the three bears had finished their morning walk, they came home quite hungry for their 'breakfast.
Some one has been at my porridge, cried the Papa Bear, in his great rough voice.
2. "Some one has been at my porridge," cried the Mamma Bear, in her big, smooth voice.
Some one has been at my porridge, cried the Tiny Cub, in his little, squeaky voice, "and has eaten it all up."
3. Then they looked all round the room to find out who had been at their porridge, and they saw that the chairs were all out of their places.
4. "Some one has been sitting in my chair," cried the big Papa Bear.
Some one has been sitting in my chair, said the Mamma Bear.
Some one has been sitting in my chair, and has sat right through it, said Tiny Cub, and he began to cry.
SHE SPRANG TO THE OPEN WINDOW.
5. No one could be found in the room, so the three bears went upstairs to their bedroom' to look for "some one" there.
6. "Some one has been in my bed," roared the big Papa Bear.
Some one has been in my bed, shouted the big Mamma Bear.
Some one has been in my bed, screamed the little Tiny Cub, "and here she is still."
7. The roar and the shout and the scream woke up Silver-locks from her nap. She sprang up, turned to the open window, and jumped out as quick as a flash.
8. The three bears also made a rush for the window. They were in such a hurry that they all stuck in it, and could not get out.
9. Long before they got out at the door, Silver-locks was far away in the forest, and you may be sure that she ran all the way home as fast as she could.
