The original version of the story about the three bears includes an ugly, old woman breaking into the home of the three bears while they are on a walk waiting for their porridge to cool off. The old woman decides to sit in their chairs, eat their porridge, and sleep in one of their beds. When the three bears come home and find her in the little bear's bed, she wakes up, hops through the window and they never see her again. The second version of the story replaces the ugly, old woman with a mischievous, but cute, little girl with blonde hair Goldilocks, and the third version, also the most famous one as it was adjusted for youngest children, replaced the original story of the three male bears with Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and Baby Bear. What was, in the beginning, a scary fairy tale now became a cute family story with no danger. The story developed diverse variations and was even used as an adaptation to many media such as film, opera, and many others, so Goldilocks and the Three Bears became one of the most well-known fairy tales in the English language. The folk tale was first recorded in the narrative by the English writer Robert Southey who publicized the fairy tale anonymously in 1837 in his book The Doctor under the name The Tale of the Three Bears. In the same year, the editor George Nicol versified the fairy tale thinking that the anonymous writer who published this story was a mastermind.
