Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Well, most of the beloved fairy tales we know don't actually have BAD morals; Little Red Riding Hood doesn't either!. As far as I know, the moral of Little Red Riding Hood is actually not to trust strangers!. I think you might have interpreted LRRH as having a bad moral message simply because of violence in the story, when in reality, most of these old fairy tales DO have violence in them!. I remember reading an older version of Cinderella, where the Evil Stepmother was made to dance in hot iron, heavy shoes as payment for her evil deeds!.

But, anyways, here are some well-known children's fairy tales, collected by Brothers Grimm:
The Frog King
Rapunzel
Hansel and Gretel
Cinderella
Thumbling, aka Tom Thumb
The Elves and the Shoemaker
Snow White
The Goose Girl

And here are some from Hans Christian Anderson:
Thumbelina
The Little Mermaid
The Snow Queen
The Little Match Girl
The Ugly Duckling
The Emperor's New Clothes
The Princess and the Pea
The Steadfast Tin Soldier (one of my favorites)

also, here are some links to more fairy tales if you'd like to research further:
