Just want Troy?
A giant wooden horse stood outside a big city. The sun was warm and shiny on its smooth wooden back. The people of the city looked up at the tall, tall horse. This is the story of the Trojan Horse. They had never seen such a big and wonderful surprise.
The people thought the horse was a happy gift. They opened their big gates. Pull, pull, pull. They pulled the big wooden horse inside their city. It was a fun ride. But the horse had a secret. A very big secret. Inside the horse’s big, round tummy, brave soldiers were hiding. They were quiet, quiet, quiet. Shhh. They hid like little mice. The horse rolled past all the houses. It stopped in the middle of the city. The soldiers waited and waited for the moon to shine in the sky.
When the moon was high and bright, a little door opened. Pop. Out came the soldiers. Tiptoe, tiptoe, tiptoe. They played the biggest game of hide-and-seek ever. This clever trick ended a long, long argument. The story of the big wooden horse reminds us that a clever idea can be the best surprise of all.
