BR:23 THE TROJAN HORSE

"We will open the gates of Troy for you from inside the city." (p. 11)

Paris was a prince of Troy. He married with Helen. But she was married with King Menelaus in Greek. He wanted his wife back. The Greek army attacked Troy, and the war went on for ten years. Troy had a strong wall, so the Greeks could not get into the city. Then the goddess Athena helped the Greek army. She said, "Build a wooden horse. Put your men inside the horse. When the horse is inside Troy, come out." The horse was given to Troy for present. Late at night, the Greek army went out from the horse, and burned the city. A wooden horse ended the Trojan War.
