Goldie and the Three Bears’ Smart House

Welcome to Toddle Poddle Bedtime Stories. We have loads of lovely stories every single day at Toddle Poddle so get comfortable and snuggle up with teddy for today's classic with a modern twist.

Goldie and the Three Bears’ Smart House

Once upon a time, in a bustling town, there lived a curious girl named Goldie. She had bright golden curls, a backpack full of gadgets, and a knack for exploring places she probably shouldn’t. One sunny afternoon, Goldie was biking home when she spotted the strangest thing—a sleek, modern house surrounded by a shimmering smart fence. A shiny sign read: The Bear Family.

“Huh,” Goldie said, parking her bike. “I’ve never seen anyone come in or out of there. Must be worth a peek.”

With a wave of her smartwatch, she scanned the fence, which buzzed and allowed her through. Goldie walked up to the door, and it slid open automatically with a cheerful ding. “Welcome!” chirped a robotic voice. Goldie grinned; this was no ordinary house. It was a smart house.

Inside, the house sparkled with futuristic appliances and comfy-looking chairs. “Hello?” Goldie called, but no one answered. As she stepped further in, her stomach growled. On a fancy smart counter, three bowls of oatmeal sat steaming. Above each bowl, a holographic message glowed:

  • Papa Bear’s Energy Bowl – High Fiber & Protein
  • Mama Bear’s Balance Bowl – Low-Sugar Delight
  • Baby Bear’s Berry Blast – Kid-Approved

Goldie’s mouth watered. She tried a spoonful of Papa Bear’s bowl first. “Yikes! Too bland!” she sputtered. Then she sampled Mama Bear’s bowl. “Ugh! Way too sweet!” Finally, she dipped her spoon into Baby Bear’s. “Mmm, just right!” She gobbled it up, leaving nothing behind.

Next, she entered the living room, where three smart chairs reclined at the touch of a button. Above them hung digital signs:

  • Papa Bear’s Recliner 3000 – Firm Support
  • Mama Bear’s Comfort Cloud – Perfect Cushions
  • Baby Bear’s Beanbag Buddy – Bounce & Relax

Goldie tried Papa Bear’s recliner, and it stiffened up immediately, locking her in place. “Too stiff!” she grumbled. Mama Bear’s chair enveloped her in a squishy hug, squeezing too tight. “Too soft!” she wheezed. Finally, she sank into Baby Bear’s beanbag. “Ahhh, just right.” She stretched out and accidentally triggered “Bounce Mode,” springing her up and down until it burst with a soft poof!

Embarrassed but determined to explore more, Goldie found the bedrooms. Each one had futuristic beds:

  • Papa Bear’s Bed – Posture Perfect
  • Mama Bear’s Sleep Cloud – Luxuriously Soft
  • Baby Bear’s Hover-Bed – Fluffy Floater

Goldie tried Papa Bear’s bed, which was as hard as a rock. “Too firm!” she complained. Then she sank into Mama Bear’s bed, which almost swallowed her whole. “Too fluffy!” Finally, she lay down on Baby Bear’s Hover-Bed, which gently floated a few inches above the ground. “Just right,” she sighed and dozed off.


Minutes Later…

The Bear Family returned home. Papa Bear, a tech-savvy but gruff bear, checked his wristband. “Someone’s been eating my oatmeal!”

Mama Bear, elegant and no-nonsense, frowned. “Someone’s been trying out my chair!”

Baby Bear gasped, his smart-glasses lighting up. “Someone’s been in my room—and they’re still here!”

Together, they rushed to the bedroom. Goldie awoke to three bears staring down at her. She jumped up, stammering, “Uh, hi!”

Instead of roaring in anger, Baby Bear burst out laughing. “That was awesome! You triggered every smart feature in the house!” He grinned. “Wanna help us test more?”

Papa Bear and Mama Bear exchanged glances. Goldie, realizing she hadn’t been as sneaky as she thought, offered an apologetic smile. “I’d like that. Maybe I can help fix the beanbag?”

The bears nodded. Papa Bear’s eyes twinkled. “All right. But next time, just knock, okay?”

Goldie grinned. “Deal.”

From that day on, Goldie and the Bear Family became best friends and the greatest gadget-testing team in town. Together, they shared oatmeal, bounced on chairs, and explored the limits of every smart feature their home had to offer.

The Rat Gang Crew and the Overgrounders, CH 2, The Special Meeting is Called


Chapter 2


'This is not good news,' said Scarlett, after a panting Amelie had told her everything she had seen from that day.


Because Scarlett was the oldest member of the Rat Gang Crew, she was able to understand a bit more about things. She remembered how the entire population of their species, along with their friends the mice, had been forced out of the beautiful burrows they had built over generations. Family homes filled with the most precious possessions they had created with their own paws were destroyed. Lovely carpets, hand woven with the most luxurious cat and dog fur from the dog-walk forest paths, and the prettiest feathers from the new parrot colonies in London. Even paw paintings of their great ancestors who looked down from burrow walls and made everyone feel like they belonged, were lost to the construction companies.

But the rats and mice were not alone. Many of their friends were made homeless too. Other animals who liked to sleep underground like foxes, meerkats, and wombats, to name but a few.
'What's happening Scarlett? Please tell us.....' said Atlas, who was staying over for the summer holidays from Auntie's house.

'The diggers came and dug up our homes as if they were built of paper or sand. It happened so quickly and many of our kind were unable to leave before it was too late.'

Ivy began to sob. 'Oh no, whatever will happen to us?' she said, drying her eyes on Atlas's favourite scarf.

'It was so lucky you saw Amelie, you will get the special medal of Brave Rat Girl for this,' said Scarlett. But for now we must focus on a plan. If and how we can stop the diggers and how we can protect our families and friends from harm. We will need to ask the Foxes, Mole Rats, Armadillos and Toads to help us. We need all the friends we can get!'

'Will you call a special meeting?' asked Ivy, I really like the special meetings.'

'I can make some berry pie,' said Amelie.

'Oh I love berry pie,' shouted Atlas. He had not had berry pie since Christmas and that was ages ago.

'Look guys, we need to keep things under wraps for now,' whispered Scarlett.
'What does under wraps mean?' whispered Ivy in reply.

'It means, keep your voice down, we don't want to worry grandma unnecessarily as she is very elderly,' said Atlas.

The next day, after a night filled with horrid visions, Scarlett, Atlas, Amelie and Ivy, took paw-written letters to the oldest kids in the crew gangs that surrounded the rat and mouse homes. Rats and mice had lived peacefully together since the move to Rodentia where they now lived. They even had some hamster and gerbil families who had moved in as they were refugees from a far off land with nowhere to go.

Rodentia was a beautiful town and everyone had worked hard to create it. Having to leave would be a terrible upheaval especially for the elders.

The paw-written letters said this.

Dear Crews,
It has come to the attention of the Rat Gang Crew that there is danger afoot.
Our homes are at risk if we do not do something soon.
As it is the summer holidays the Rat Gang Crew would like to organise a 'special meeting' in the secret empty burrow under the football pitch at Critters Farm this evening at 6pm.
Please tell as few people as necessary as this is a very dangerous time.

Yours Sincerely,

Scarlett Rat Girl from the Rat Gang Crew.

PS There will be berry pie.
