Today I realized that I am more clever than I had previously thought. I single-handedly tricked and defeated the Cyclopes. Though, I lost some of my best fighters, I an still proud of myself. After realizing that we could not get out, I took advantage of my intelligent brain and got the Cyclopes drunk. Then, we stabbed his eye with a hot spear. He blindly moved the stone at the entrance. He yelled for help, but I cleverly tricked him into thinking my name was "Nohbody." So no one came to his aide. Then, my men and I hid under the bellies of his sheep, stealing them in the process, and escaped. The king will now be impressed and give me respect. I learned that I can always outwit my enemy and use my brains no matter how strong they are.
Sincerely,
Odysseus
