Three Bears

Goldilocks' reluctant hosts

Three Bears refers to the fairy tale "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," in which a girl enters the forest home of a bear family and samples their porridge, chairs, and beds, finding one of each "just right." The story teaches about respecting others' property and finding the middle option.

The Three Bears sometimes serves as shorthand for any situation offering small, medium, and large choices.
