Examples of Folk Tales I Find Interesting (so far)

I have decided to choose the brief of creating an animation based on a folk tale.

Although I already know of some well-known and classic folk tales, I also thought it would be interesting and useful to look up some less well-known ones.

These are a few ( so far) which I have found online which I find interesting, and which start to give me ideas on how I can use animation to interpret them:
