The Troy Stone



The Troy Stone is a very good story. My favorite part is when Mark went to back many many years ago and fought with Andros and other men. This story is fiction, but many years ago the Greeks and Trojans had a real war with each other.

One day, the Jackson family went to Turkey on a holiday. They stayed in Istanbul. Mark and Fay's parents like Turkey. It has good weather and the food was good. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Jackson family got on the bus and went to the old city. Mark stopped walking and he sat under the tree. He found a yellow stone and he picked it up. Then he started to clean the stone and he could not hear or see anything. Then soon he opened his eyes and he was standing on the beach! He could see many ships and someone gave Mark a lot of wood. A man called Mark and he followed him. Then the man said, "My name is Andros." Soon Mark and Andros saw some things, and Mark saw a man who was looking for a stone for the horse's one bright eye. Mark gave him the Stone and Mark helped to make the horse. The man said, "You can come with us in the horse tomorrow night." Mark was surprised. At night he saw an old woman named Ana. She was cooking and she told him a story about many years ago. The next night, Mark and other men got on the horse and the men fought the Trojans. Later, Troy was on fire. Mark saw a beautiful woman named Helen of Troy. Ana told Mark about her life. Andros and Mark and other men ran down the street. Mark saw Trojans so Mark said,"Please don't kill me! Please! Please!" When Mark woke up under the tree again and he walked to the bus, an old woman said to Mark, "Do you want a wood horse?" But Mark said, "No. It can't be," because that old woman was from a long time ago. The old woman said, "Come and see me again one day."
