Odysseus here. Know it’s been a while
since my last post, but it’s only fair I keep you up to speed. Last time I
posted, I told you how I made a humongous spear out of a log and made it red
hot. This is where I get crafty.
So
we got the Cyclops drunk. But while he was getting drunk, I told him my name
was Nohbdy (get it? It sounds like nobody). So when he fell asleep we stabbed
his eye out, and he yelled so loud the other Cyclopes herd this and came
running. They asked him who caused him this pain, and he said, “Nohbdy.” The
other Cyclopses thought he said, “nobody,” so they left and didn’t care. So the
Cyclops opens his door and sits in the opening waiting for us. We hid under his
sheep so he wouldn’t find us and we escaped with his sheep.
On
our way off the island he was throwing rocks, so I turn around and tell him my
real name, my fathers name, and where I live (probably not my best Idea) but I
will be home soon. Fingers crossed for good luck.
