Let’s go home

Gingerbread Man

Fantastic Fairy Tale• By Sophie Adams (Yr 7)

Goldilocks turned the corner and the skatepark came into view. Her vision was filled by yellow tape, with POLICE LINE - DO NOT CROSS written everywhere. It stuck in her mind even when she shut her

eyes.

Most members of the public coming across the scene were asking someone what had happened. Unsure if she had the confidence to talk to a stranger so casually, Goldilocks slowed down. Maybe she would be

able to figure out what had gone on by just looking around?

Does she keep on going or leave?

Relief flowed over her as she saw a very familiar family of three bears standing close to the tape. ‘Papa Bear’ said Goldilocks. ‘What has happened?’ ‘Little Miss Muffet was found here just half an hour ago. She was crying, and threatening to throw her bucket at anyone who came too close. Paramedics were called and only just managed to get her into the ambulance. They’re saying she’s in shock, so I’m thinking it was something way more terrifying than a spider that scared her. She’s never been like this before.’

Does she keep looking around or go to the hospital?

Goldilocks gave Papa Bear a nod, so he knew that she understood, then walked off. She saw Detective Inspector Big Bad Wolf talking to the one of Three Blind Mice and Little Red Riding Hood. Goldilocks didn’t think either of them were frightening enough to do this.

Does she talk to him or go home?

The next morning Goldilocks went to get her paper from the store, and was shocked when she read the front page. She knew the police would rule out Pinnochio soon enough. The spider was no where near scary enough, Little Miss Muffet had grown to be near immune to Spider’s

frights. That left only one suspect.

But, Goldilocks whispered to herself, The Gingerbread Man was her best friend! He would never do this to anyone. But who would? The Fairy

Godmother? No one in Fairy Tale Land was evil enough to something like this...

Does she go see The Gingerbread Man or not?

Hesitantly, Goldilocks knocked on the front door of the little ginger house. ‘Come in’ a familiar voice echoed from inside. She reached out and put her hand on the

gumdrop door handle. Goldilocks was scared. With closed eyes, Goldilocks twisted her wrist. The door swung open. Without opening her eyes, she stepped

into the house with her right foot.

‘Goldie!’, she heard The Gingerbread Man cry in joy. ‘Goldie, I’ve missed you so much. Where have you been? Why didn’t you call?’‘I missed you too Gingie. I’m sorry I didn’t call, I’ve been ever so

busy.’‘Well never mind that. Let’s have some tea and biscuits’.

‘Are chocolate bikkies okay with you?’ Gingie asked her as he worked.

‘Sure’. Goldilocks replied, her mind absent. ‘So, Goldie’ Gingie began, ‘How have you been?’

‘Fine’ Goldilocks lied, reaching for biscuit.Gingie tilted his head to the right, questioning Goldilock’s well-

being.

‘I need to ask you something’ she blurted out, not sure if she really wanted to, all the same.

‘Shoot’ Goldilocks didn’t know what to do. Should she ask him and risk

their friendship? Or should she leave it and risk her safety?

‘Did you do that horrible thing to Little Miss Muffet?!’ Goldilocks demanded. Gingie lowered his head and looked down at the ground.

‘You did didn’t you?!’‘I’m sorry, Goldie’

Goldilocks stormed out of the house, infuriated.

The next day, The Gingerbread Man’s arrest was all over the news. The police didn’t say how they found the truth, but Goldilocks knew he

turned himself in. It was so Gingie. She also knew, deep down, that she had done the right thing.

THE END Back To Start

Goldilocks became too frightened of what the tape was hiding and went home. Later, she found she was dying to know what had happened. She

decided to go for a walk and see if she could find anything.

While Goldilocks was on her walk, she came to crossroads. Unsure which path take she sits on the grass to think for a moment.

Does she go left or right?

On she walked, following the path in the left direction. As she turned a corner, two people and a car came into view. Goldilocks focused for a second. She recognized Fairy Tale

Land’s detective inspector, Mr Wolf. He was putting handcuffs on Little Red Riding Hood.

Goldilocks wasn’t surprised that, whatever the crime had been, Little Red Riding Hood had committed it. Goldilocks had

never trusted her.

THE END

Back To Start

On she walked, following the path in the right direction. As she turned a corner, two people and a car came into view. Goldilocks focused for a second. She recognized Fairy Tale Land’s detective inspector, Mr Wolf. He

was putting handcuffs on each of the spider’s six legs.

Turns out that spider, who had scared Little Miss Muffet so many times that she had become immune to his frights, wanted a bigger reaction from her. The police were refusing to comment

on what exactly spider had done to give Little Miss Muffet so much more than a startle.

THE ENDBack To Start

Ruled over by curiosity, Goldilocks went down to the hospital. She saw the ambulance parked at the ambo bay outside the hospital. Familiar with this hospital, she saunters in

confidently. She makes her way to the psych ward and sees Little Miss Muffet through the window in her room.

Does she go in to see her? Or does she look around?

Curious, Goldilocks ambled into Little Miss Muffet’s room,

a bundle of nerves. Unfortunately, and not to

Goldilock’s knowledge, Miss Muffet was not allowed visitors just yet. So Goldilocks leaves

the room looks around the hospital, searching for a clue.

Soon enough, after finding nothing, she gave up hope and

left the hospital. On her way home two speeding cars raced past her. Picking up her pace, she made her way home and immediately turned on the

news.

There had been a police chase,

involving the two cars she’d seen this morning. One had been a police car and the other had

been a stolen subaru, with The Spider driving.

eventually Spider’s car ran out of petrol and he gave himself

in.

THE END

Back To Start

Once the Three Blind Mice and Little Red Riding Hood were done talking to him, Goldilocks went to talk to Detective Inspector Wolf. She asked him what was going on. He told her stuff she mostly already knew from the bears, with a couple of surprise facts every now and then. But one fact

surprised her. He told her that her best friend, The Gingerbread Man, was the main suspect in the case. All the evidence was pointing to him. Acting on the spur of the moment, Goldilocks told the

detective that she had done it.

He grabbed some handcuffs and took her down to the station. There she was charged with 3 months, 2 weeks, 4 days and 16 hours imprisonment. Goldilocks

was chagrined that she was in jail, but knew that she had been a very good friend.

THE END

Back To Start

Goldilocks, to distraught to do much, decided to live

and let live. She practically removed herself from her community, causing self-

inflicted social rejection. The only television she watched was rubbish daytime soap operas, shying away from

the six o’clock news. Goldilocks had no idea if

The Gingerbread Man was actually guilty, and if he wasn’t then she had no

conclusion to the mystery of Little Miss Muffet.

THE END

Back To Start

One good turn deserves....

Once upon a time (which is a pretty good way to start a story) a warm spring morning followed Goldilocks as she

skipped down the street. With her lunch and essential supplies strapped to her back

she was off to enjoy the day.Screeching to a halt at the end of the street

she was surprised to find two new signs

The skate The skate parkpark

The The woodswoods

I wonder thought Goldilocks??

Next

Tentatively she turned towards to woods. They appeared to be peeping around the

corner at the end of the path. As she sauntered along she heard a song coming

from the other side of the hedge,“Hi, Ho, Hi Ho, it’s off to work I go.”

Lying down and looking through a low gap she spied this vertically challenged person

trotting along being chased by a song.“That looks like fun”

Does she crawl through the hedge?Carry on to Carry on to

the woodsthe woods

Through the Through the hedge!hedge!

“Hello Snow White welcome back”chortles

Dopey as Goldilocks appears through the

hedge.

Whoops, wrong story thinks Goldilocks

Or does she go along with the charade?

Tales yet to be told.

“Dopey Dwarf,” haven’t seen him in ages. He hasn’t changed a bit.”

So off she went along the path towards the woods.

Rounding the corner she screeched to a halt.

“Wow where did that place come from” she whispered.

Tales yet to be told.

“The skate park sounds fun,” she muses and turns towards town.

To her surprise she is confronted by an intact Humpty Dumpty and an uncountable number of horses

and men.

Tales yet to be told.

“Nothing much happening in town,” HD calls, “come to my

celebratory party.”
