Goldilocks and the Three Bears

A little girl is in the forest. She looks surprised.

A scenic view with an old log house that looks like a cabin and a clothesline tied to the trees with some pieces of clothing. A bear is peeking out. Surprise, surprise!

A postal box is hanging on an old wooden gate. A tree with a rose bush climbing on it is growing nearby. A cute weasel is holding an ornate padlock key.

A little girl has opened a door to the log cabin. We can see the corridor of the cabin with a bench, an oil lamp with a glass dome, and a toy wooden horse on wheels. Pairs of Lapti, traditional Russian shoes, are lined up on the wooden floor. Bunches of dried flowers, and herbs, are hanging on the wall.

Goldilocks is sitting on a beautifully carved wooden chair with a big owl on the back. She is peeking behind the big pot with an ornate ladle. On a table, we see a handmade folk art-style box with a lid made of birch bark. A small branch with fresh berries is lying nearby.

A little girl named Goldilocks is quite upset. She is sitting on a bed with sheets decorated with lace and straw as a mattress underneath. She is barefoot, and her heels are dusty.

A big pile of firewood is covered with a handmade folk art quilt blanket made of different pieces of colorful fabric with various patterns. A classic movable wooden toy of bears sitting and drinking tea from a Samovar pot is lying nearby. A wooden ladder is propped against the pile of wood. Sweet peas are growing in the foreground.

Papa Bear, Mama Bear, and their son, Little Bear, are standing by the Mountain Ash tree. Papa Bear is holding a birch bark box with honey inside. The bees are attracted to it. Mama Bear is wearing a dress and a headscarf, and Papa Bear is wearing stripy pants with a belt. Little Bear is holding a wooden toy horse with a straw mane.

The dining room of the three bears from the famous fairy tale is waiting for visitors. And they are coming. You can see the reflection of the three bears in a big Russian tea pot called Samovar. A ferret is quickly eating the leftover porridge without even noticing the guests. Two magpies are sitting nearby. Notice that the curtain rod is actually a tree branch.
