Reading A
According to the legend of the Trojan Horse, for ten long years the Greeks ha
d been trying to get over the wall around the city of Troy. But the Greeks could n
ot get over the wall. And the Trojans could not drive the Greeks away. Year after
year they fought. And year after year neither side won.
• One day, a Greek general, Ulysses had a tricky idea. “Let’s pretend to sail a
way”, he suggested. “We’ll leave a gift for Troy, a gift to announce the end of
the war, a wooden horse with 6 men hidden inside.
• At night, these men can sneak out and open the gate of Troy!” That was the way
things were done back then.
Reading A
• When you admitted defeat, you supplied a gift. It made sense to leave
a gift of art. The Greek were famous for their art. When it was ready, th
e Greeks brought the wooden horse close to the gates of Troy and pretende
d to sail away.
• By midnight the soldiers sneaked out of the wooden horse and opened t
he main gates of Troy. The Greek army entered and captured the city.
Reading B
The Trojan archers at the top of the wall saw the Greeks leaving and they could n
ot believe their eyes. Were the Greeks giving up at last? The Trojans dragged the hors
e inside their city and closed the gates.
Cassandra, the princess of Troy could see the future, but no one believed a thing
she said. Cassandra warned her people that the huge wooden Trojan horse the Greeks
had given to Troy was empty- full of Greek soldiers, hidden inside - soldiers who wou
ld destroy the city! She suggested burning it. But the people of Troy did not believe
her. They did not even look.
Reading B
•Instead the Trojan people said “It is too beautiful. We will keep it f
orever as a reminder of our victory.”
•That night, while the Trojan people slept soundly, exhausted from their
celebrations, the 6 Greek men hidden inside the wooden horse climbed ou
t and opened the gates of Troy and let the Greek army inside to invade
Troy.
