Opening the reader…
Era uma vez três Ursos, que moravam juntos em sua própria casa, numa floresta. Um deles era o Pequeno Urso Pequenino, a outra era a Ursa de Tamanho Médio e o outro era o Grande Urso Enorme. Cada um tinha uma tigela para o seu mingau: uma tigelinha para o Pequeno Urso Pequenino, uma tigela média para a Ursa de Tamanho Médio e uma tigela grande para o Grande Urso Enorme. E cada um tinha uma cadeira para sentar: uma cadeirinha para o Pequeno Urso Pequenino, uma cadeira média para a Ursa de Tamanho Médio e uma cadeira grande para o Grande Urso Enorme. E cada um tinha uma cama para dormir: uma caminhas para o Pequeno Urso Pequenino, uma cama média para a Ursa de Tamanho Médio e uma cama grande para o Grande Urso Enorme.
Once upon a time there were three Bears, who lived together in a house of their own, in a wood. One of them was a Little Wee Bear, and one was a Middle-sized Bear, and the other was a Great Big Bear. They had each a bowl for their porridge; a little bowl for the Little Wee Bear; and a middle-sized bowl for the Middle-sized Bear; and a great bowl for the Great Big Bear. And they had each a chair to sit in; a little chair for the Little Wee Bear; and a middle-sized chair for the Middle-sized Bear; and a great chair for the Great Big Bear. And they had each a bed to sleep in; a little bed for the Little Wee Bear; and a middle-sized bed for the Middle-sized Bear; and a great bed for the Great Big Bear.
Um dia, depois que tinham feito o mingau para o café da manhã e o tinham colocado nas suas tigelas, eles saíram para caminhar na floresta enquanto o mingau esfriava, para não queimarem a boca começando cedo demais, pois eram Ursos educados e bem-criados. E, enquanto eles estavam fora, uma menina chamada Cachinhos Dourados, que morava do outro lado da floresta e tinha sido mandada para fazer uma tarefa por sua mãe, passou perto da casa e olhou pela janela. E então ela espiou pelo buraco da fechadura, porque não era de jeito nenhum uma menina bem-educada. Vendo que não havia ninguém na casa, ela levantou o trinco. A porta não estava trancada, porque os Ursos eram Ursos bons, que não faziam mal a ninguém e nunca suspeitavam que alguém lhes faria mal. Então, Cachinhos Dourados abriu a porta e entrou; e ficou muito contente quando viu o mingau sobre a mesa. Se ela tivesse sido uma menina bem-educada, teria esperado até que os Ursos voltassem para casa e então, talvez, eles a teriam convidado para o café da manhã; pois eram Ursos bons — um pouco rudes, como é o jeito dos Ursos, mas, apesar de tudo, muito bondosos e acolhedores. Mas ela era uma menina atrevida e mal-educada, e então começou a se servir.
One day, after they had made the porridge for their breakfast, and poured it into their porridge-bowls, they walked out into the wood while the porridge was cooling, that they might not burn their mouths by beginning too soon, for they were polite, well-brought-up Bears. And while they were away a little girl called Goldilocks, who lived at the other side of the wood and had been sent on an errand by her mother, passed by the house, and looked in at the window. And then she peeped in at the keyhole, for she was not at all a well-brought-up little girl. Then seeing nobody in the house she lifted the latch. The door was not fastened, because the Bears were good Bears, who did nobody any harm, and never suspected that anybody would harm them. So Goldilocks opened the door and went in; and well pleased was she when she saw the porridge on the table. If she had been a well-brought-up little girl she would have waited till the Bears came home, and then, perhaps, they would have asked her to breakfast; for they were good Bears--a little rough or so, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable. But she was an impudent, rude little girl, and so she set about helping herself.
Primeiro ela provou o mingau do Grande Urso Enorme, e estava quente demais para ela. Depois ela provou o mingau da Ursa de Tamanho Médio, mas estava frio demais para ela. E então ela foi até o mingau do Pequeno Urso Pequenino e o provou, e não estava nem quente demais nem frio demais, mas no ponto certo, e ela gostou tanto que comeu tudo, até a última colherada!
First she tasted the porridge of the Great Big Bear, and that was too hot for her. Next she tasted the porridge of the Middle-sized Bear, but that was too cold for her. And then she went to the porridge of the Little Wee Bear, and tasted it, and that was neither too hot nor too cold, but just right, and she liked it so well that she ate it all up, every bit!
Então Cachinhos Dourados, que estava cansada, pois tinha ficado caçando borboletas em vez de fazer a sua tarefa, sentou-se na cadeira do Grande Urso Enorme, mas era dura demais para ela. E depois ela sentou-se na cadeira da Ursa de Tamanho Médio, e era macia demais para ela. Mas quando ela se sentou na cadeira do Pequeno Urso Pequenino, não era nem dura demais nem macia demais, mas no ponto certo. Então ela se acomodou nela, e ali ficou sentada até que o fundo da cadeira se quebrou, e ela caiu com tudo no chão; e isso a deixou muito brava, pois era uma menina geniosa.
Then Goldilocks, who was tired, for she had been catching butterflies instead of running on her errand, sate down in the chair of the Great Big Bear, but that was too hard for her. And then she sate down in the chair of the Middle-sized Bear, and that was too soft for her. But when she sat down in the chair of the Little Wee Bear, that was neither too hard nor too soft, but just right. So she seated herself in it, and there she sate till the bottom of the chair came out, and down she came, plump upon the ground; and that made her very cross, for she was a bad-tempered little girl.
