to sal back home to Greece, defeated. In fact they hid nearby.
The Trojans, delighted that the Greeks had left, immediately
cameo ut of the city gates and found the horse. They werevery
curious Aspart of the plan, the Greeks had left behing one
soldier hinding near the horse. The Trojans son found him and
asked him about the horse. He said it was an offering to the
goddess Athena.

The Trojans tried to pull th huge horse into the city. However ,
it was so big that they had to tear down part of the city Wall to
get it in. They took it to temple of Athena, and had a big party
to celebrate victory over the Greeks and the end of the war.

Finally, everione was exhausted from all the party and they fell
asleep.Now the Greek soldiers crep out of the horse, they killed
