"One of the most famous Greek stories is about a giant wooden horse. Long ago, the story says, the Greeks sailed to attack the city of <strong>Troy</strong>. But Troy hid behind huge, strong walls. For TEN years, the Greeks could not get in!",
"Then clever <strong>Odysseus</strong> had an idea. The Greeks built a giant wooden horse, hid their best soldiers inside its hollow belly, and pretended to sail away. The people of Troy thought the horse was a gift and a sign they had won. They pulled it inside their walls and celebrated all night!",
"While Troy slept, the hidden soldiers crept out, opened the gates, and let the Greek army in. Troy fell — not to strength, but to a trick! Today, when someone sneaks something bad inside something that looks nice, we still call it a 'Trojan horse.'"
