Goldilocks and the Three Bears

This is their story:
The three bears live in a little house in the middle of the forest: big Father Bear, medium-sized Mother Bear and little Baby Bear. They never change their daily routine.
For example, Mother Bear often cooks a big pot of porridge for breakfast and then she does the housework. Father Bear always gets up very early in the morning and gets dressed to go to work. And Baby Bear usually sleeps in bed until 8 o'clock when Mother Bear wakes him up. Baby Bear only goes to the forest with his friends twice a week.
