Greetings all!!
After being at sea for a couple weeks we have finally reached land. The land seemed to be inhabited by strange one eyed beasts. One of the more learned men new that these beasts were called the Cyclopes. Odysseus wanted to go ashore to satisfy his curiosity of the beast, and to find food. We have just returned from this life threatening adventure. At dawn we left the ship with 12 of the best fighters. All three of us were honored to have been chosen. We rowed ashore and climbed up into the cave of one of the beasts. Upon entering, we discovered that cheeses and sheep were inside. What luck we thought to find the beast out and a cave of food. We begged Odysseus to take the food and return to the ship. But our captain O captain, let his curiosity get the better of his judgement. The beast returned and to his delight found dinner, standing right in his cave. With out hesitation, he swooped down and grabbed Tast Dee and Jue Cie. He and Odysseus talked for a while, but us men ran to cover in the back. The next morning Deeli Cious and Medium Rare were breakfast. Odysseus told us as soon as the beast left of his plan to escape. We were to fashion an olive tree into a spear to poke the beasts eye out. That night Odysseus gave the beast wine until he became drunk. While in this drunken stupor, we blinded the beast with our spear. This was scarier than any battle we had ever fought in. The next morning, Odysseus tied us to the bellies of the sheep. When the monster went to let the sheep out, we escaped without him ever getting an inkling of what we were doing. Traveling on the underside of a sheep is not the way to go!! We made it safely back to the ship and loaded all the sheep. For a long time we will be able to have meat and milk. However as we were headed out to the sweet sea, our captain decided to have to the last word. Calling to the beast who he was, gave the cyclops our bearings and he threw a hillside at us. This caused a giant wave to send us back to shore. The men begged Odysseus not to say anything more but he of of course did not listen to us men. He called back one more time and who knows what consequences this will bring in the future.
We hope that everyone at home is in good health and that we will see you all soon.
Sincerely,
Lysander, Tadd, Zander

P.S. The sheep is our new pillow. We decided not to eat him because he is the sheep that Tadd hid under. He seems to have a sense of humor because he stole Odysseus' cape.
