Listen to the recording and read the story.
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.”

Listen to the recording and read the story.
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.
