Goldilocks and the Three Bears - Part 4

Wadjasay? American English Pronunciation Practice

Let's continue with our story about Goldilocks and the three bears. You will recall that the bears went for a walk and while they were away, Goldilocks came into their house, ate the baby bear's breakfast, and broke his rocking chair. Now she is upstairs in the bears' bedroom, trying out the beds.
As before, listen to this part of the story two times—or more if you like—and then practice repeating the sentences.
The first bed was huge and very high. Goldilocks climbed up and put her head on the pillow. The bed was as hard as a sidewalk and the pillow was just as bad. “No way!’ said Goldilocks. “It’d be easier to sleep in the street.” She slid off the biggest bed and regarded the middle-sized bed. It was covered with a mountain of quilts and blankets. She climbed up and sank down. And down. And down.
“Help!” she shouted. “I’m drowning!” After a long struggle, she finally was able to escape. "That was scary!" she said. Feeling discouraged, she examined the last bed which was child-sized. Carefully she sat down. Not too hard, not too soft. Just right, in fact. With a happy sigh, Goldilocks put her head on the pillow and pulled the blanket up to her chin. “I’ll just rest for a little while before I go home.” In a minute she was fast asleep.
