Chapter 2 A Monster in a Cave It was night when they arrived to the next island.
7.460 — 15.280
-
In the morning they saw green trees, flowers and golden corn fields.
16.000 — 20.040
-
The dishes as men were very hungry and thirsty.
20.860 — 23.260
-
We will find food and water here, said Odysseus.
24.020 — 27.280
-
Twelve men left the ships and went with Odysseus.
28.540 — 31.060
-
Soon they came to a very big hole in the hillside.
31.780 — 34.580
-
It's a cave, said Odysseus.
35.540 — 37.440
-
Perhaps someone lives here.
38.280 — 39.460
-
Shhh!
39.920 — 40.220
-
The twelve men and Odysseus walked into the cave.
41.580 — 44.280
-
Suddenly they heard some sheep.
45.240 — 46.940
-
At the back of the cave they saw them.
50.300 — 52.280
-
There were about a hundred sheep.
52.280 — 53.960
-
The men found lots of good food too.
55.220 — 57.360
-
Let's take it all back to the ships, said one of the men.
58.660 — 61.260
-
But Odysseus said no.
62.140 — 63.480
-
You may eat just a little of the cheese.
64.240 — 66.080
-
I want to find out who lives in this place.
67.140 — 69.220
-
We may make friends with him.
70.060 — 71.700
-
As night fell the hillside started to shake.
73.500 — 76.300
-
Odysseus picked up his sword.
77.440 — 78.720
-
Crash!
79.360 — 79.800
-
Crash!
80.640 — 80.920
-
A monster with huge hairy feet walked into the cave.
82.280 — 85.720
-
At first the monster did not see Odysseus and his men.
91.360 — 94.980
-
It started a fire and dragged a huge rock across the mouth of the cave to make a door.
95.820 — 100.360
-
Then it saw Odysseus.
104.420 — 106.440
-
Who are you?
107.340 — 109.060
-
It yelled.
110.220 — 110.760
-
Don't you know that this cave is my home?
111.720 — 115.920
-
Why are you here?
117.140 — 119.340
-
And why are you eating my food?
120.280 — 123.840
-
The monster was huge.
124.940 — 126.600
-
It had arms and legs like hairy trees.
127.300 — 129.980
-
But that was not the worst thing.
131.020 — 132.560
-
The worst thing was its one huge eye.
132.860 — 136.300
-
Right in the middle of its forehead.
137.100 — 138.900
-
Odysseus knew that this was a cyclops.
140.060 — 143.400
-
We are Greek sailors.
144.260 — 146.540
-
He said on our way home from Ttry.
147.220 — 150.760
-
We're on this island because we must have food and water.
151.600 — 157.040
-
Will you help us?
157.860 — 158.860
-
I will not yell the cyclops.
159.900 — 163.760
-
I will not help Greek sailors.
164.560 — 168.800
-
But I will eat them.
169.480 — 172.920
-
The terrified men looked at the monster's big black teeth.
174.440 — 178.580
-
The monster laughed and then lay down.
181.860 — 185.380
-
But first I must sleep.
186.240 — 190.500
-
It said and shot its one eye.
191.290 — 194.340
-
When the cyclops began to snore Odysseus ran across the cave.
199.220 — 203.700
-
He picked up a burning branch from the fire and pushed it into the face of the cyclops.
204.080 — 209.120
-
The cyclops screamed.
213.680 — 215.600
-
It jumped up and ran around the cave.
216.260 — 218.880
-
It crashed into things and yelled in a voice that sounded like thunder.
219.100 — 223.740
-
I can't see.
224.220 — 226.580
-
I can't see.
227.460 — 229.440
-
Where are you?
230.260 — 232.540
-
You must be punished.
233.280 — 236.060
-
It felt around the cave with its huge hairy hands.
238.120 — 242.000
-
Where are you?
242.800 — 244.440
-
I will.
247.000 — 248.200
-
I will.
249.280 — 250.480
-
I will.
251.900 — 252.160
-
But Odysseus and the sailors were too fast for the cyclops.
252.160 — 255.440
-
You will not catch us.
255.920 — 257.560
-
They called out as they ran from the monster.
258.020 — 260.580
-
But they could not leave the cave because of the huge rock.
261.260 — 264.000
-
They ran around the cave until the cyclops was exhausted.
264.860 — 267.880
-
And then when it was asleep again Odysseus made a plan.
268.620 — 272.860
-
In the morning Odysseus watched as the monster woke up and had something to eat.
274.440 — 279.400
-
As it ate, it yelled, I am blind.
279.920 — 283.300
-
I can't see my food.
284.140 — 286.140
-
I can't see my sheep.
287.020 — 288.820
-
I can't see my hand.
289.520 — 292.240
-
What good is an eye if it can't see?
292.940 — 295.660
-
I will never be happy again.
296.460 — 298.880
-
One of the men started to speak.
300.220 — 302.240
-
But Odysseus said, I must let the sheep out, to find food.
302.240 — 310.260
-
Said the cyclops.
311.280 — 312.300
-
It went to the mouth of the cave and dragged the rock away.
314.120 — 317.360
-
As the sheep ran out onto the hillside, the monster touched the wool on the back of each one and counted them.
321.300 — 327.600
-
It heard the sound of their feet, but it did not see them.
328.740 — 331.820
-
And it did not see Odysseus and his twelve sailors.
332.540 — 335.480
-
Each man hid under a sheep, clinging to its wool as it ran out of the cave.
336.440 — 340.860
