• Three bears lived in a castle in the woods
• A big bear, a medium bear and a small bear
• In the same woods, lived a fox named Scrapefoot
• Scrapefoot was afraid of the bears but was curious about them 
• One day he was near the castle and after noticing there was nobody around, he went inside
• He found three chairs, sat in two which were uncomfortable but the third was cozy. However, he broke it
• Then he came across a table with three bowls of milk. The first two bowls were gross but the third was delicious and he drank all of it
• Scrapefoot went upstairs and found three beds. The first two were uncomfortable but the third was just right and he fell asleep
• The three bears came home and noticed the chair was broken and the milk was gone
• They went upstairs and saw Scrapefoot
• One bear said to hang him, the next said to drown him, and the last bear said to throw him out of the window
• They threw Scrapefoot out of the window
• Scrapefoot managed not to have any injuries and he scurried off
