Can anyone think of a fairytale that has many different versions or is based in different cultures?

For example, Cinderella has many different versions. (Chinese, Native American, Egyptian, etc).

If you can think of a fairy tale that has at least 3 different versions that are similar, that'd be great.

If you post links to where I can find it at that'd be even better

Thanks for your help!

    Maybe not what you're thinking of, but many cultures have a flood myth, like the one in Genesis - humans stray from God's commandments, God decides to kill them all, sends a massive flood to do it, but spares a few righteous humans, who then repopulate an empty Earth.
