For younger Readers--"The Fisherman and his Wife"

I got an email from a reader who said that the Tolstoy story I recommended was too difficult for her younger kids. Did I have anything like that story but on a younger level?

The classic Grimm's tale "The Fisherman and his Wife" is available online at
http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/grimm019.html
or at
http://www.ongoing-tales.com/SERIALS/oldtime/FAIRYTALES/fisherman1.html

There is an animated, downloadable copy of the story available at

The progression of wants and needs is similar in idea to that of the Tolstoy story.
