They told her this was the boy who was stealing the apples.The queen got a giant to kill him. The giant got a cup of poison to poison the little boy. He got a cup of tea for himself. The little boy was to drink the poison and the giant was to drink the tea. The little boy went behind the giant's back and he left the cup of poison where the tea was. The giant drank the cup of poison and the little boy drank the cup of tea. The giant was poisoned and the little boy ran away. The giant died.
