5 Three Angry Beards

CHAPTER FIVE Three Angry Beards Hey, Mama Beard! Has my bed always looked so lumpy and bumpy? That no-good spider and all of his cousins had better not be napping in it again! Papa Beard yanked the blanket back to find out who was sleeping in Baby Beard's bed.

Princess could see that the creatures were three walking, talking beards with arms and legs. And all three of them were looking right at her.

Princess grabbed Moldylocks by the hand. The girls ran to the stairway. The Three Beards chased after them, clawing at the air with their long arms. RUN!

Princess let go of Moldylocks's hand. Then she slid down the banister as fast as she could. Follow me! Princess didn't stop running until she was outside, with the Beards's house far behind her.

PHEW! That was a close call! Good thing those scary Beards didn't get us! Right, Moldylocks?

Moldylocks was nowhere to be seen. Princess looked over her shoulder just in time to see Mama and Papa Beard snatching up her friend. And Baby Beard was running toward Princess. EEK!
