You also could try les lettres de mon moulin, by Alphonse Daudet (I think they fell into public domain). These are for kids, mostly, but that means that the sentences are quite simple, for foreigners.
And, although it is not a short story but a short novel, there is le petit prince, by Antoine de St Exupery, which is written like a kid novel, but studied by teenagers and young adults for its philosophy (although that never was my favorite subject).
