There are thousands of folk and fairy tales.
Let me know if you want to focus on any particular theme, such as classic
fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and
Hans Christian Anderson, or folk tales fromaround
the world, or one particular
nation/ethnicity,
or tales retold by contemporary
author/illustrators, or collections
of tales so you have a new story to read every night. I'm programmable.

White and the Seven Dwarfs
