One of the mandatory texts in my country's curriculum was the story of workers building a church and the head architect had to bury his pregnant wife alive into one of the walls, because creation requires sacrifice. The entire crew killed themselves once the building was complete. But that's in high-school.

The first story that starts the 1st grade textbook is about a goat with three kids. The wolf comes and kills two of the kids while the mother is out (third kid hid too well). He then places their severed heads in the window, grinning, to make it look like they're waiting for their mom. The grieving mother proceedes to invite the wolf to a feast (he's family), which is actually a trap to burn him alive as revenge.
