【原文】

Many, many years ago there was a war between the Greeks and the Trojans. The Greek ships

sailed up to the city of Troy. When the Trojans saw the Greek ships, they closed the gates of their

city and stayed behind the walls. The Greeks attacked the city many times, but could not take it.

Then one of the Greeks thought of a plan. The Greeks made a big wooden horse and had some

Trojans could not see them, and hid their ships. At first the Trojans wanted to burn the wooden

horse, but a Greek prisoner said,

The horse was very big, and the Trojans could not bring it in through the gate. They had to

make a hole in the wall. Then they brought the wooden horse into the city. The next day was a

holiday in Troy. At night all the Trojan soldiers fell asleep after a heavy festive drinking.

The

Greek

came

back

to

Troy

in

the

night.

lived.

Just as the Tinman spoke there came from the forest a terrible roar, and the next moment a

great Lion rushed into the road. With one blow of his paw he knocked the Scarecrow to the edge

of the road, and then he hit the Tinman with his sharp claws. But, to the Lion's surprise, he could

make no mark on the tin, though the Tinman fell over in the road and lay still.

Little Toto, now that he had an enemy to face, ran barking towards the Lion. The great beast

had opened his mouth to bite the dog. Dorothy feared that Toto would be killed. She forgot all

danger and rushed forward. She slapped the Lion upon his nose as hard as she could, and cried

out:
