One great quick kid bedtime story could be 'The Little Red Hen'. In this story, the little red hen finds some grains of wheat and asks her friends for help in planting, harvesting, and making bread.

The story of 'The Ugly Duckling' is also a wonderful choice. A duckling is born different and is bullied by the other animals. But as it grows, it turns into a beautiful swan. It's a great story for kids to learn about self - acceptance and that things can change for the better.

There is the story of 'The Sleepy Bunny'. A bunny was so tired after a day of hopping around the meadow. It found a cozy patch of grass under a big tree. As it lay down, it counted the flowers around it. One by one, it got sleepier until it drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
A little mouse was looking for a place to sleep. It found an old shoe. Inside the shoe, there was some soft fabric. The mouse made a cozy bed.

And with the cricket's song, the mouse drifted off to sleep.
One example is 'The Little Red Hen'. It's a simple story about a hen who does all the work herself because the other animals won't help.

And 'The Three Little Pigs' is also a classic, with the pigs building houses to protect themselves from the wolf.
