That night we celebrated in the main square. We sang and danced around the fire. We even made jokes about the Greeks. A soldier said, “It’s the happiest day in my life.” By midnight, We locked all the gates and went to sleep.
When the square was empty, the Greek soldiers quietly climbed out of the horse. Nobody noticed that! The Greek soldiers opened the main gates and let the Greek army enter the city. We were captured when we were awake.
Finally, the Greeks won the war! We lost everything. I will never trust my enemy any more.
