The Cyclops
The long war was over and Odysseus was going home.
The journey was very difficult. After many days at
sea, he and his men stopped for the night on an
island. Tired and hungry, they saw the smoke from
some fires at the top of a cliff.
‘Come on, friends,’ said Odysseus. ‘Perhaps the
people who lit those fires will be kind to us
and give us some food. Let’s take them
some wine as a present.’

They pulled their boat onto the beach
and climbed up the cliff. At the top,
they found a cave.
‘Hey, look over here!’ called one of
Odysseus’s men. ‘These cheeses are big
enough to sit on! If we took one back to the
boat, we’d have food for months.’
‘No,’ said Odysseus. ‘We don’t need to
steal anything. The person who lives here is
out with his sheep. I’m sure he’ll be happy
to help us when he comes home.’
