Alright so let's try this.

What folktales or fairy tales would you nominate for a Folktale of the Year bracket?

What's your favorite tale?
Which one do you think would make a good Folktale of the Year for 2024?
Which one would be fun to campaign for in a vote?
Which one would you enjoy reading other people's opinions about?

Give us a title, a summary, or a type (see toot below for explanation of tale types) 😄

Boosts welcome

@TarkabarkaHolgy
Most of my search results in the Japanese (and ultimately Chinese) version(s) of the goddess princess Vega falling in love with the mortal Altair.
But any other variant is interesting. (cf Pyramus and Thysbe?)
I am especially intrigued by the symbolism of the Magpie bridge.
