Everyone knows the tale.

Edgar Poe:

Kipling:

In the story on which Perrault based his 1697 version of the tale of Little Red Riding Hood, the wolf, disguised as the grandmother he had recently swallowed, was a werewolf. He offers Little Red Riding Hood to undress and join him in bed by throwing his clothes into the fire. According to one version, the wolf eats the girl when she ends up in his bed and the tale ends. According to another, Little Red Riding Hood tells the wolf that she needs to go to the bathroom and doesn't feel like doing "it" in bed, whereupon the girl manages to escape.
Perhaps this is a more positive ending to the tale than in the Perrault version, when the girl is eaten by the wolf, or the first version by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, according to which the lumberjack frees her and her grandmother by cutting open the wolf's belly.

"Snow White."
In the story, told by the Brothers Grimm in 1812, Snow White's jealous mother (not stepmother!) sends a gamekeeper to bring the girl's lung and liver, which the mother was going to pickle, cook and eat.
Also included in the Grimm Brothers' tale is the punishment of the cruel mother. In the story she appears at Snow White's wedding wearing red-hot iron clogs and dances in them until she drops dead.

"Pinocchio."
In the original story, written by Carlo Collodi and published in 1883, Pinocchio falls asleep in front of a fire and his feet are burned, before killing the Talking Cricket who is teaching him with a wooden hammer.
Pinocchio is then turned into a donkey, tied to a rock and thrown off a cliff. Before this, a buyer buys Pinocchio in the form of a donkey in order to make a drum out of his hide. Throughout the story, he is chased, abused and imprisoned.

"The Sleeping Beauty.
In the 1634 collection of fairy tales by the Italian storyteller Giambattista Basile, who was one of the first to record the tales later retold by Charles Perrault and the Grimm brothers, a girl gets a fibre of linen under her fingernail which pricks her and makes her fall asleep.
The prince who finds Sleeping Beauty finds her so irresistible that he rapes her despite her dead sleep. Nine months later she gives birth to twins, also in her sleep. She awakens only when one of the children, looking for breasts, sucks on her finger and pulls out a fibre.
