I suggest the story from the Arabian Nights told in Egyptian Arabic in  
Mustafa Mughazy's Egyptian Arabic textbook Dardasha (2004, NARLC  
Press. Madison, Wisconsin). It maybe be found on pp258-267 including  
glossary and explanatory notes. The text of the story itself is about  
four pages long and begins with the formulaic 'kaan ya ma kaan" which  
as close as you can get to "once upon a time".
