"Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is one of the most popular fairy tales in the English language. The story is a 19th-century British fairy tale of which three versions exist.

The original version of the tale tells of a badly-behaved old woman who enters the forest home of three bachelor bears whilst they are away.

The second version replaced the old woman with a little girl named Goldilocks, and the third and by far best-known version replaced the original bear trio with Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear.
