Which are the best bedtime stories that you tell your kids?

Growing up I loved fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen, they are a classic and I haven't met a child that does not love those stories. My personal favourites were (still are) The Little Mermaid and Rumplestilskin. Try to look for the child-friendly version of these fairytales if your child is really young because the ones I had as a kid were close to the original version and rather dark. I remember feeling really sad for the Little Mermaid when she said that every step she took felt like knives stabbing her. My parents also made it a point to read to me in my mother tongue (Malay) twice a week because we predominantly speak English at home. I remember vividly the stories of a deer (sang kancil) outsmarting the crocodile (buaya).
