The Trojan horse
The captain stood on the high wall of the city of Troy."The Greeks have gone and we've won,"he said."They've tried to capture our city for ten years. Now they've given up and sailed away!"
"But look over there," a soldier said. "They've left a huge wooden horse."
"Ah, yes," the captain said, "it's too big. The Greeks didn't want to take it with them. Get some help and pull it into the city."
That night, in the main square of the city, all the Trojans celebrated.They sang and danced around the horse, and made jokes about the stupid Greeks. "I haven't laughed like this since my childhood," the captain said. After the party, they locked all the gates of the city and then all went to sleep.
By midnight, the main square was empty, except for the huge horse. Suddenly a secret door opened on the side of the wooden horse. The horse was full of Greek soldiers! They quietly climbed out of the horse one by one.
The soldiers opened the main gates. The Greek arny entered the city.For ten years, the Greeks couldnot capture the city by fighting. In one night, however, they succeeded in capturing it through a clever trick.
特洛伊木马
头领站在特洛伊城的高墙上。“希腊人已经走了，我们赢了，”他说。“他们想占领我们的城市已经十年了。现在他们放弃了，离开了！”
“但是看那边，”一个士兵说。“他们留下了一匹巨大的木马。”
“啊，是的，”头领说，“它太大了。希腊人不想把它带走。去找人帮忙，把它拉到城里去。”
那天晚上，在城市的主广场上，所有的特洛伊人都在庆祝，他们围着马唱歌跳舞，还拿愚蠢的希腊人开了个玩笑。“我从小就没有这样笑过，”头领说。聚会结束后，他们把城里所有的大门都锁上了，然后都睡着了。
午夜时分，主广场已经空无一人，除了那匹巨大的马。突然，一扇秘密的门在木马的侧面打开了。这匹马上满是希腊士兵！他们悄悄地一个一个地从马上爬出来。
士兵们打开了大门。希腊的军队进入这个城市，十年来，希腊人无法通过战斗占领这座城市，但在一夜之间，他们成功地通过一个巧妙的计谋就占领了这座城市。
