Who Ate My Porridge? III

Well, I can certainly give you the last part of mine. I’m so flattered you all liked it so much; I do hope it’s inspired you in some little way:

You remember last time we visited the Three Bears, someone had eaten all their porridge, someone had damaged their chairs, and someone had been sleeping in their beds! Yes, it was a little girl—or a young woman, really—with long golden locks of hair. They were about to jump on her and eat her up when the polar bear said: ‘Stop. Wait a minute. This girl has actually helped us unlock the barriers to our goals.’ For it was true: far from ruining their lives, the young woman was key to a new way of living. She had made them look at new strategies of coping with change, new ways to look after their food, new seating and sleeping arrangements where they were flexible and didn’t take things for granted. So they went up to the little girl—whose name was, of course, Goldilocks—and gave her a big bear hug. For Goldilocks was Change, and you should always embrace Change. Then they invited her to sit down and have supper with them—porridge, of course!
