If you were a child or had children in the 1960s, you would recall Goldilocks and The Three Bears.
The Brothers Grinn did some research and discovered that in the original version it was an ill-tempered, dirty old woman who entered the home of Three Bachelor Bears. She stole the bears' porridge and broke their furniture. She fled when the bears returned.
Over the years, the story morphed. The crone became Goldilocks-the cutie-pie, blond that we know. Take a peek and read "Goldilocks Bared" in Chapter 1, the Brothers Grinn version of the fairy tale. Enjoy the hilarious ride.
