2. Story retold by Owen Stehm

3. The Trojan war had been raging for 10 years. I have a brilliant idea on how to win the Trojan war. My idea will never fail.

4. Odysseus told his men, “Build a wooden horse on wheels.” Then Odysseus and his men went to work on the horse.

5. Some of Odysseus's men and himself hid inside the horse. They left the horse on the island of Troy. The rest of the army sailed away.

6. The Greeks acted like they gave up and the Trojans had won. They pretended to sail home but they really didn’t.

7. The Trojans took it as a winning trophy and rolled it in the city. What a great present. This is the perfect winning trophy. Ha Ha They will never find us in here.

8. When everybody went to bed Odysseus and his men jumped out the horse and they opened the gates for the people on the boats. Then they killed all of the Trojans. ZZZZZ!
