They climbed the walls with ropes

They tunneled under the walls

They disguised themselves as friends

They hid inside a huge wooden horse.

The Greeks burst out of the tunnel and killed all the Trojans

An earthquake collapsed the walls and Greeks poured in.

The soldiers in the wooden horse sneaked out and opened the city gates.

The disguised Greeks set the city on fire.
