An astronomer used to go out every night to observe stars. He would often be seen with a telescope in one hand and a notebook in the other. One evening, while he wandered through the suburbs with his whole attention fixed on the sky, he accidentally fell into a deep uncovered well. He cried out loudly for help. As he waited there to be rescued, he lamented and bewailed his sores and bruises. His neighbor was passing by and happened to hear his wailing and lamenting. He quickly helped him out of the well. After he came to know how the accident happened, this is what he said to the astronomer: “Hark you old fellow, why, in striving to pry into what is in heaven, do you not manage to see what is on earth?"

In the tenth year of the war against Troy, the Greeks were still not able to take the city by force. Finally, with the help of Ulysses, they devised a plan. Most of the Greek army broke camp and set sail, hiding their ships behind a nearby island. The rest of them began work on a giant horse carved from wood, with a door so carefully concealed that no one could notice it. The horse was hollow, with holes to breathe through here and there. Ulysses, Menelaus, and the other chiefs climbed inside, and the rest of the army went away.

The news spread like wildfire inside Troy. After ten years, the enemy was finally giving up. Part of the army had gone, and the rest were going. The camp was deserted. People from the city ran through the gates and onto the plain. There stood the giant wooden horse. No one knew what it might be. One man, Laocoon, a priest of Neptune, said, "Beware of all that comes from Greeks. This is a piece of treachery."

But just then the Trojans found Sinon, a Greek spy, who lied and told them that he had been left behind as punishment. He said that the Greeks had built the giant horse as an offering to Athena, but it was too huge to move. Now it would bring victory to anyone who possessed it.

The Trojans decided to believe Sinon, not Laocoon and dragged the horse into the city. That night, while the Trojans celebrated, Sinon the spy opened the hidden door, and the Chiefs crept out. They signaled the ships, which had come back into the harbor, and the army conquered the city. Nothing remains of that great city today, believed to be in the country of Turkey, but treasure seekers are still trying to find it.

Margaret was a simple lady who lived in a village with her husband, Robert. They had a daughter named Amy. Everyday at sunrise, Margaret would wake up cook, clean and feed the cattle. Robert would milk the cows and then take the dogs for a long walk. Amy would study, help her mother for sometime and then get ready for school.

Amy studied in a school, which was far away from her house. But she loved going to school. She went with her friends, Ingrid and Rebecca. They would walk together chatting, laughing and singing songs as they went. They had to cross a river on the way. The only way they could cross it was by walking on a narrow bridge.

One day Margaret, Robert and Amy, and her friends were walking on the narrow bridge one behind the other. Amy and her friends were off to school; as usual. Margaret and Robert wanted to go to the market on other side of the river to buy some groceries for the house.

As they were crossing the narrow bridge Rebecca who was right at the back slipped on the narrow bridge. She gave a frightened scream, clutching hold of Ingrid who was in front of her. Both of them lost their balance and fell into the river. Amy clutched her mother in fright. For a moment she hesitated and then threw herself into the river after her friends determined to save them.

Margaret screamed, and Robert jumped into the river. Some passers-by also jumped into the river and rescued the children, who were dripping wet and shivering with fright.

That night Robert patted his daughter Amy and said, “You are a brave girl Amy, I’m proud of you."
