The Trojan Horse

Many, many years ago there was a war between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Greek ships sailed up to the city of Troy. When the Trojans saw the Greek ships, they closed the gates of their city and stayed behind the walls. The Greeks attacked the city many times, but could not take it. The Greeks made a big wooden horse, and the leaders of the Greek army hid inside the horse. In the morning the Greeks burned their camp and sailed away. Only the big wooden horse remained in front of the gates. But the Greek ships did not sail far. At first the Trojans wanted to burn the wooden horse, but a Greek prisoner said, “Don’t burn the horse. Bring it into Troy. It will help you.” They brought the wooden horse into the city.

The next day was a holiday in Troy. At night all the Trojan soldiers fell asleep. The Greek ships came back to Troy at the night. When everything was quiet, the leaders of the Greek soldiers came out of the wooden horse and opened the gates of the city. The Greek army was near Troy. The Greek soldiers came into the city, killed very many Trojans and took the city.
