Trojan Horse

Summary:
The Trojan war was going on for about 10 years,  and finally the Greeks gave up and sailed off. However they left a huge wooden horse behind as a "gift". They weren't sure if it was safe or not, so they didn't know whether to burn it or not. A Greek came by and made a very convincing story as to why it was a gift and the belly of the horse was filled wit gold; later that night the Greeks piled out of the wooden horse and flooded the streets of Troy. In the end, the Greeks won the war of Trojan.

Overall, it was just a very devious plan of the Greeks to hide in the big wooden horse and attack the Trojans when they least expected it. In my opinion, it was a really good idea though. I don't think that anyone would hide in a huge wooden horse to attack someone nowadays, but I think something similar to this could happen. Maybe if someone was having a "red vs. black" volleyball game or basketball game, one team would do that to the other to find out they're plan, just kind of as a joke. Nothing to start an actual war though.The same thing goes with school or a small work place, friends or co-workers might do it to each other as a joke.
