Prompt: Write a scene that involves a fairy tale trope turned on its head or otherwise deviating from typical expectations. For example: A princess who's cruel to her kind stepmother; a golden goose that lays explosive eggs; a big, frightening wolf who really just wants a friend.

Story:



A family of three bears who don't have a home,

Found a girl with curly hair that's gold and alone,

They followed her to this big, humble abode,

Then watched her cook food from the side road.


The bears could smell the food from afar,

As the girl kept cooking like a rock star,

Tossing ingredients and measurements at par,

To a dish that the bears thought was bizarre.


The baby bear's tummy began to grumble,

Mama bear's knees started to wobble,

Papa bear's head beginning to bobble,

As he thought of one thing, and that's to nobble.


To nobble the food that the girl create,

He would take it in time, but now he'll wait,

Until the girl had finally equate,

That she cannot finish the food she made.


They saw the girl go up the stairs,

So they made a move to eat the fares,

But the girl heard noise from downstairs,

So she took her gun and killed the three bears.


The end.
