ELEM: Paired folktales examples needed

[Suzanne Weinheimer <suzanne@WHATEXIT.COM>]

A grade 4 teacher is looking for more examples of "paired" folktales, =
so she can have her students compare and contrast them. Examples she =
has used in the past follow. Can anyone suggest any more?


Little Cat and Little Hen (from Tortoise Tales)
Why Mosquitoes Buzz in Peoples Ears (Aardema, 398.2 AAR)
--------------------------------------
Fishermans Wife (398.26)
Fisherman=B9s Wife (in Eric Carle=B9s Storybook, 398.2 G)
--------------------------------------
Claypot Boy
Gingerbread Boy (in Fairy Tale Treasury, by Briggs)
--------------------------------------
Twelve Months (398.2 ALI)
Little Sister and Month Brother (398.2 D)
--------------------------------------
The Husband who was to mind the House (in East of the Sun, West of =
the Moon)
Turnabout (398.2 WIE)
--------------------------------------

I checked with her, and she doesn't want examples like, Korean =
Cinderella and Egyptian Cinderella. I know this seems a little =
"vague" but I hope someone can help. I've tried to question her about =
it, but she keeps telling me she wants "similar folktales".
