You give up trying to stop the boys stealing your apples, and go round to tell them they can have as many apples as they like. You even show them where you keep your stepladder so they can get the apples at the top of the tree more easily. The boys seem very happy, but you yourself feel rather sick about it all. However, after that, to your amazement no more apples disappear. You hear no more noises at night, and find no trace of the boys in your garden again. You cannot imagine what has happened.
A week or so later, you see one of the boys out in the street, and you ask him why they have stopped taking your apples. He tells you that it was no fun for them any more if they knew you didn't mind them taking the apples, and so they had found other apple trees to rob. He tells you the apples they are stealing now are a lot better than yours.
Congratulations! You have stopped the boys stealing your apples and have therefore reached the end of the maze!
Enjoy your apple harvest!
