Japanese Fairy Tales
My favorite is Momotaro, the Little Peach Boy. His mother desperately wanted a child, so she wished for one. And what do you know, one day she found a peach floating in the river and inside it was a little boy.
When he felt he was smart enough and strong enough he went to fight the devils on Devil's Island. On the way he ran into a dog, a monkey and a pheasant who helped him defeat the devil in a great act of bravery.
You'll have to read the tale to find out how it ends. Does he get married, or rich, powerful, or become a prince?
