" and never having learned to control herself , she allowed this wicked thought to grow into the awful desire of taking her step - daughter 's life . so one day she secretly ordered some poison and poisoned some sweet wine . this poisoned wine she put into a bottle . into another similar bottle she poured some good wine . it was the occasion of the boys ' festival on the fifth of may , and hase - hime was playing with her little brother . all his toys of warriors and heroes were spread out and she was telling him wonderful stories about each of them . they were both enjoying themselves and laughing merrily with their attendants when his mother entered with the two bottles of wine and some delicious cakes . 
princess terute was envious .
