One time there was a little girl and she had a grandmother who was having a birthday and the little girl started out to gather some flowers for her grandmother. She went on and on, looking for flowers, until she was away off in the woods. She found some pretty flowers and picked them and turned to go back and seen she was lost. So she started wandering around and around just like lost people will do. She kept going and going and at last she come to a little house. She slipped up and looked in the window, but she didn't see nobody. She pushed on the door and hit come open and the little girl tiptoed inside. There she saw three tables, and on each table was a bowl of sweet milk. On the big table was a great big bowl and on the next sized table was a little bowl and on the smallest table was a teeniweeny bowl. She tasted of the milk in the big bowl and hit was too hot. She tasted of the milk in the little bowl and hit was too cold. She tasted of the milk in the teeniweeny bowl and hit was just right and she kept on tasting of hit till she'd tasted hit all up. Then she looked around and there was a big chair, a little chair and a teeniweeny chair. She set down in the big chair and hit was too hard. She set down in the little chair and hit was too soft. She set down in the teeniweeny chair and hit was just right and she set there till hit broke down with her. Then she looked over in a corner and seed three beds, a big bed, a little bed and a teeniwenny bed. She laid down on the big bed and hit was too hard, She laid down on the little bed and hit was too soft. She laid down on the teeniweeny bed and hit was just right so she laid there and went to sleep.

Now the little house was the home of three bears. The old big daddy bear, the little mother bear and the teeniweeny baby bear. That day they'd been out a-huntin'. And when they come home they went in and the old big daddy bear picked up his bowl of milk and started to drink hit and said, "Somebody's been tasting of my milk." The little mother bear picked up the little bowl and started to drink her milk and she said, "Somebody's been tasting of my milk." The teeniweeny bear picked up the teeniweeny bowl and started to drink hit and hit said, "Somebody's been tasting of my milk and they've tasted hit all away." Then the big bear [set] down [on] the big bed and he said, "Somebody's been a-setting in my bed." The little bear [set?] down [on] the little chair and she said, "somebody's been a settin' in my chair." The teeniweeny bear went to set down in hit's chair and hit said, "Oh, somebody's been a settin' in my chair and they've broke hit." Then the big bear laid down on the big bed and said, "Somebody's been a-layin' on my bed." The little bear laid down on the little bed and said, "Oh! Somebody's has been layin' on my bed an' they are layin' here now." That waked the little girl up and she jumped up and ran out of the house and down the road and she was so scrared that she didn't notice where she was going and the first thing she knowed she was in the trail that took her home and she got there with the flowers she'd held to all the time and give them to her grandmother.
