JIMMY, THE BEAR: I don’t think so. Did you bring a rifle?
GOLDILOCKS: If I had a rifle the sky would fall. If the sky fell, we would catch larks. Good-bye, sir.
She comes away and then the second bear appears.
JIMMY, THE BEAR: She is really awful. She is the worst thing in the world.
JENNY, THE BEAR: She knows how many beans make five. But concentrate… she is coming.
The girl comes in and meets ALEX.
ALEX, THEIR SON (out of the forest, singing):
I think the girls are very nice,
Their locks are long
Their faces are white and lips are pink.
GOLDILOCKS. Warning! I'm an awful girl. I'm really awful. I am the worst thing in the world.
ALEX, THEIR SON. You're the most beautiful in the world. You are the best thing in the world.
GOLDILOCKS (impressed). Really?
(Two people appear)
ANN. Is it the end?
JENNY, THE BEAR. Yes, such a lovely end. You know, unusual endings make me
forget the problems of everyday life.

SCENE I
SETTING. In the farmer's house. A large kitchen and a big oven in the middle of it.
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE (indoors) bakes something. She is busy. ANN, FARMER'S COW (outdoors) watches through the window.
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: I'll take two grapes and a lemon, and some sugar.
ANN, FARMER'S COW: Did you put cream that I gave you?
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: Sure. I’ve put cream and butter. It's ready.
Ben comes in and smells.
BEN, FARMER (to himself): It must be tasty. I wish it were as big as me. What's this? (Staring at JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN, who appears out of the oven)
JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: Hi! It's me.
BEN, FARMER (doesn’t see him): Is it really tasty?
ANN, FARMER'S COW: Sure. Cream and butter. Two grapes and a lemon, and some sugar. I wish it were salt, not sugar… Mmm!
JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: Not at all. Don't look at me like that!
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE (to gingerbread man): My husband is a sweet tooth. Don't you see?
JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: I can see of course!
I have two eyes
And I can see
A farmer and his wife
In front of me.
What are your names?
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: He is Benjamin and I am Nancy. We are the Browns.
ANN, FARMER'S COW: Call me just Ann.
JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: So funny!
My name is John,
Your name is Ann,
His name is Ben,
Her name is Nan.
NAN, FARMER'S WIFE: You should say,’ How do you do?'
JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: How do you do, madam?
Ben is the only who doesn't see gingerbread man.
BEN, FARMER: Can I have some gingerbread? It smells tasty. JOHN, GINGERBREAD MAN: I don't know what you mean. Cream and butter. Two grapes and a lemon, and much sugar. But I'm hot. It was awfully hot in the oven.
