    "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" (originally titled "The Story of the Three Bears") is a 19th-century English fairy tale of which three versions exist. The original version of the tale tells of an obscene old woman who enters the forest home of three anthropomorphic bachelor bears while they are away. She eats some of their porridge, sits down on one of their chairs and breaks it, and sleeps in one of their beds. When the bears return and discover her, she wakes up, jumps out of the window, and is never seen again. The second version replaces the old woman with a young girl named Goldilocks, and the third and by far best-known version replaces the bachelor trio with a family of three. What was originally a frightening oral tale became a cosy family story with only a hint of menace. The story has elicited various interpretations and has been adapted to film, opera, and other media. "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" is one of the most popular fairy tales in the English language.

    "Goldilocks" is a popular character from a British fairy tale known as "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," where a little girl named Goldilocks enters the house of the three bears, taste their porridge, sits in their chairs, and sleeps in their beds. The term "Goldilocks" is often used more broadly to describe a condition, situation or quantity that is 'just right' or in the 'perfect moderation', falling between two extremes. It is named after the character's preference for things that are not too much or too little but just right. For instance, in astronomy, the 'Goldilocks zone' refers to the habitable zone around a star where the conditions are just right - not too hot, not too cold - for life to exist.
