What are some good bedtime stories for reading aloud?

I’m looking for things to read as bedtime stories. Happy, cute, or mellow stories are best, but wistfully neutral or mildly somber tales would be ok too.

Any kind of writing works. Poems, short stories, fairy tales, essays, anything. Preferable no more than six or seven pages (and even shorter is better.)

Some examples might be Italo Calvino’s short story “The Enchanted Garden,” or Robert Frost’s poem “A Girl’s Garden.” Anything, really.

Any story that contains any of the following themes would be excellent: the countryside, the woods, tea, farms, hugs, sleep, animals, stars, blankets, gardens.
