The captain stood on the high wall of the city of Troy. “The Greeks have gone and we’ve won,” he said. “They’ve tried to capture our city for ten years. Now they’ve given up and sailed away!”
“But look over there,” a soldier said. “They’ve left a huge wooden horse.”
“Ah, yes,” the captain said, “it’s too big. The Greeks didn’t want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city.”
The Trojan horse
That night, in the main square of the city, all the Trojans celebrated.
They sang and danced around the horse, and made jokes about the stupid
Greeks. “I haven’t laughed like this since my childhood,” the captain
said. After the party, they locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.
By midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge horse. Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden horse. The horse was full of Greek soldiers! They quietly climbed out of the horse one by one.
