Shorty-Brown and the Three Stores

Once upon a time in a town not too small, and not too big, there lived a girl. The girl was called Shorty-Brown because she had short brown hair. One day when Goldilocks, one of Shorty-Brown's friends, was away on vacation Shorty-Brown went shopping. She needed to find some clothes because, much to her dismay, school was starting. So she went to the only shopping mall in the town The Mall.

Shorty-Brown walked into the mall and saw three stores for her to choose from. She stepped in the first one to see what it was like. The store contained dresses, skirts, and very nice, dressy shirts. "Oh no," said Shorty-Brown, "This place is too fancy." So left the store to explore the second one.

Shorty-Brown walked into the second store. It also had dresses, skirts, and nice shirts, but it also had jeans and other types of clothing more Shorty-Brown's style. She starting looking around the store and picked out a pair of jeans, then looked at the price tag, $200.00. "Yikes," she said, "This place is too expensive." she put the jeans back and proceeded to the other store.

Shorty-Brown walked into the third store and looked around. It had dresses, skirts, shirt of all types, jeans, and everything Shorty-Brown needed and liked. She also noticed that the prices were decent so she said, "This place is just right!"

Shorty-Brown began looking for jeans, the first item and the list. She got some and tried them on.

"These ones are too small."

"These ones are too big."

"These ones are too long."

"These ones are too short."

"These ones are too light."

"These ones are too dark."

"These ones are too skinny."

"These ones are too wide."

"These ones are too low."

"These ones are too high."

On and on it went until finally, Shorty-Brown said, "These ones are just right!"

Next Shorty-Brown looked for shirts.

"This one is too small."

"This one is too big."

"This one is too sparkly."

"This one is too ugly."

"This one is too pink."

"This one is too thin."

"This one is too thick."

Once again this went on and on until Shorty-Brown said, "This one is just right!"

Now Shorty-Brown went on to the shoes.

"These ones are too big."

"These ones are too small."

"These ones are too hard."

"These ones are too soft."

"These ones are too white."

These ones are too colorful."

"These ones are too bland."

"These ones are too 'Bam!'"

"These ones are too narrow."

"These ones are too wide."

Finally Shorty-Brown said, "These ones are just right!" After all that shopping Shorty-Brown bought her jeans, shirt, and shoes. Then went home and fell asleep on the "just right" bed that Goldilocks gave her for a present.
