Upon finishing Jack and the Beanstalk last night:

Ezra: But why the giant die?
Me: Because he was chasing Jack, so Jack cut down the beanstalk and the giant fell and died.
Ezra: But why he was chasing Jack?
Me: Because he wanted his magic harp back.
Ezra: Why Jack take his magic harp?
Me: Um, I guess, because he...wanted it. ... I guess he stole it.

I'd never realized that Jack and the Beanstalk was the story of a thief who, when pursued by his victim, murdered him. Kinda puts a different spin on things.
