Porridge Pilfering Bears Receive Hefty Fine, by Becky Bye

In a shocking development, the three bears of ‘Just Right Cottage’, have received a fine of one hundred magic beans, after the smallest bear was caught stealing boxes of porridge from the local supermarket.

When questioned by authorities, Daddy Bear said that they had been forced to steal porridge, after a woman, believed to be Goldilocks, looted their emergency stash.

 

‘’In the current recession’’, Mummy Bear said,’’ there just aren’t enough magic beans to go round, and we needed the porridge’’.

 

The fine is the latest in a series of offences committed by the family, following a fine issued by the Enchanted Forest Council for littering. This was after complaints by neighbours saying that the bears refused to recycle their porridge boxes, which were piling up as high as the cottage.

 

The whereabouts of Miss Goldilocks is currently being investigated.
