The Golden Tale

PHOTO PROMPT © Karuna


Viral photos are showing that the biggest doozy is the fairy tale about sweet innocent Goldilocks stumbling her way into the three bear's den.

A tale so fake I wonder how the National Enquirer missed a scoop.

How did she get inside a lair that even B.B Wolf could not crack?

No insurance claims have been made over the flimsy chair. Health & Safety has been silent about the hot porridge. Neither has Child Safety inquired why the baby bear was being fed cold porridge.

No one has seen Goldilocks since the alleged misadventure. It’s not all milk and honey.
