| Goldie's car breaks down twenty miles from the last gas station, so she needs to find a place to get help. After walking some time, she comes to a house but no one answers her knock. When she finds the door open, she goes inside, immediately finding the bathroom. While there, she notices the seat is up and there are three razors lying next to the sink, no clean towels, and work clothes lying all over the place. Obviously, the home belongs to men. When she reaches the kitchen, she sees three glasses, three plates, and three place sittings, belonging to Erryl, Farryl and Daryl. She's thirsty, so she takes on of the glasses and fills it up with water to drink, only to find that the water has sulphur in it. When she goes to pour the water out in the sink, she drops the glass and it shatters. Now they'll really know someone's been in their house! So she gives up trying to keep her presence from being known and takes a beer from each of the three sixpacks she found in the fridge and eats one of the three pizzas from the freezer. Afterwards, Goldie takes a shower and goes to lay down in bed, only to find the first two uncomfortable, and the last just right. She falls asleep naked, only to be awoken when she hears male voices complaining about the toilet seat being down, beer missing, and a pizza gone, and then fighting over who did it. When they find her in bed, she decides they're all attractive and knows the perfect way to make them forgive her for trespassing.
This is obviously a new spin on the fairy tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Only this story has a much more interesting ending. The three men each acted as the bears, all exclaiming that someone had drank their beer and been in their beds. I thought the story was incredibly funny, and had a very hot twist on Goldilocks and the Three Bears. The story is pure erotica, but even though I much prefer erotic romance to erotica, I enjoyed it a lot.
