The Trojan Horse
play_circle

The Greeks fought the Trojans and year after year, Troy was
surrounded, its people in fear.

But in darkness one night, without any warning, the Greeks packed
their ships and were gone by the morning.

The Trojans walked out of their city next day and laughed in
amazement, "The Greeks ran away!"
play_circle

But something was left. In silence it stood, vast and intriguing,
a horse made of wood.
play_circle
pause_circle
Nobody knew just why it was there. Some wondered and worried but
most didn't care.

"It's so magnificent!" "It's such a size!" "We are victorious!"
"This is our prize!"
play_circle

They dragged it through the tall city gate. "This horse that we've
captured will never escape!"

The war-weary people felt only joy. Till late in the evening they
were dancing in Troy.

Night fell. All slept. None heard the faint sound. The wooden
horse opened. Greeks leapt to the ground.

Odysseus, the hero, led his men out. They silenced the guards
before they could shout.
play_circle
pause_circle
Then they opened the gate and their army rushed past. The Trojans
despaired, the truth clear at last:
play_circle
pause_circle
"The Greeks never left!" "Their horse was a ploy!" "With their
horse they have captured our city of Troy!"
play_circle
pause_circle
Who is it? One Greek hero, Daring and brave, Young and strong,
Sailed across the sea. Saw hideous monsters, Escaped from a
whirlpool, Unhappy away from home, Said goodbye to Calyspo and
left.
