[00:10.05]Soon they came to an apple tree full of fruit

[00:14.22]The best apples were at the top,

[00:16.90]so the giant bent the branches over for the

[00:19.46]tailor to pick some.

[00:21.70]But when the little tailor caught hold of the

[00:24.47]top branch,

[00:26.01]the tree pulled him right over the top.

[00:29.37]"You can't even hold down a little branch!"

[00:32.70]said the giant.

[00:34.41]"Of course I can," replied the tailor.

[00:37.08]"I wanted to jump over the tree

[00:39.45]and eat the fruit here. Can you?"

[00:42.76]The giant tried to jump over

[00:44.92]but got his foot caught in the branches.

[00:48.17]Just then the king and his soldiers came by.

[00:52.12]"What's this?" the king asked.

[00:56.03]"I've just caught this giant,"

[00:58.33]said the tailor.

[00:59.96]Since the giant had been a great headache

[01:01.82]in the country,

[01:02.93]the king gave the tailor a bag of gold.

[01:06.49]Soon, everyone in the land had heard about

[01:09.03]the brave little tailor who caught the giant.

[01:12.24]And so the little tailor became famous

[01:14.81]and rich and lived happily ever after.
