One girl left home for the forest. She got lost in the forest and began to look for her way home, but she did not find it, but came to the house in the forest.

The door was open; she looked at the door, sees: there is no one in the house, and entered.

Three bears lived in this house. One bear was a father, his name was Mikhailo Ivanovich. He was big and shaggy. The other was a bear. She was smaller, and her name was Nastasya Petrovna. The third was a little bear cub, and his name was Mishutka. The bears were not at home, they went for a walk in the forest.

The house had two rooms. The girl entered the first room and saw three cups of stew on the table. The first cup, very large, was Mikhail Ivanovich's. The second cup, smaller, was Nastasya Petrovna's; the third, little blue cup, was Mishutkin. Beside each cup lay a spoon: large, medium and small.

The girl took the biggest spoon and drank from the biggest cup; then she took the middle spoon and drank from the middle cup; then she took a small spoon and drank from a little blue cup; and Mishutkin's stew seemed to her the best.

The girl wanted to sit down and sees three chairs at the table: one large - Mikhail Ivanovich; the other is smaller - Nastasya Petrovna, and the third, small, with a red little pillow - Mishutkin. She climbed onto a large chair and fell; then she sat down on the middle chair, it was awkward on it; then she sat down on a small chair and laughed - it was so good. She took the little blue cup on her knees and began to eat. She ate all the stew and began to swing on a chair.

The chair broke and she fell to the floor. She got up, picked up a chair and went to another room. There were three beds: one large - Mikhail Ivanovich's; another middle one - Nastasya Petrovna; the third - Mishenkin. The girl lay down in a large one, it was too spacious for her; lay down in the middle - it was too high; she lay down in a small one - the bed fit her just right, and she fell asleep.

And the bears came home hungry and wanted to have dinner.

The big bear took the cup, looked and roared in a terrible voice:

Who sipped in my cup?

Nastasya Petrovna looked at her cup and growled not so loudly:

Who sipped in my cup?

And Mishutka saw his empty cup and squeaked in a thin voice:

Who sipped in my cup and sipped everything?

Mikhailo Ivanovich looked at his chair and growled in a terrible voice:

Nastasya Petrovna glanced at her chair and growled not so loudly:

Who sat on my chair and moved it from its place?

Mishutka looked at his broken chair and squeaked:

Who sat on my chair and broke it?

The bears came to another room.

Who lay down on my bed and crumpled it? roared Mikhailo Ivanovich in a terrible voice.

Who lay down on my bed and crumpled it? Nastasya Petrovna growled, not so loudly.

And Mishenka set up a bench, climbed into his bed and squeaked in a thin voice:

Who lay on my bed?

And suddenly he saw the girl and squealed as if he was being cut:

Here she is! Hold it, hold it! Here she is! Ay-ya-yay! Hold on!

He wanted to bite her.

The girl opened her eyes, saw the bears and rushed to the window. It was open, the girl jumped out the window and ran away. And the bears did not catch up with her.
