TROY A long time ago, in ancient Greece, there was a city called Troy. This city was strong and had big walls. The Greeks wanted to conquer Troy because Prince Paris of Troy took Helen, the beautiful wife of a Greek king, Menelaus. The Greek army sailed to Troy and fought for ten years, but they could not enter the city. Then, a clever Greek named Odysseus thought of a smart plan. The Greeks built a big wooden horse and hid their soldiers inside it. They left the horse outside Troy and pretended to sail away. The people of Troy thought the horse was a gift and pulled it into their city. That night, Greek soldiers climbed out of the horse. They opened the city gates, and the rest of the Greek army entered.
