What kind of girl was Goldilocks?

ACE Anchor PaperPrimary

AnswerThe

QuestionGoldilocks was a very naughty little girl.

CiteEvidence

Fromthe Story

I know she was naughty because she broke into the Bears’ house, ate their food and broke their chairs. That’s illegal and you could go to jail if you get caught.

ExpandYour

Answer

I bet Goldilocks' mom is going to be mad at her when she gets home. She might get sent to time out. I have been naughty a few times. Sometimes I get caught and sometimes I get away with it.
