Cyclops
We needed food and water so we stopped at this mysterious island. My men and I explored the island in search of food and water. When we got to a certain part of the mountain we noticed there was a big cave. We went inside and there was a running fire pit. We noticed there was enormous foot prints in the ground. So we waited at the cave for the beast to come. Soon enough a giant cyclops came in the cave and sealed the boulder to the entrance trapping us in. He noticed us looking at him and he asked why we were there and I said in search of food and water. When he asked me what my name was I replied "nobody". He had told me he was hungry and started to eat some of my men until we offered him wine and cheese. After he had drank the wine our plan to get him drunk had worked and he fell asleep and we headed straight for the boulder to escape. My men and I tried to move the boulder but it was too heavy. So me and my men carved a spear and put the tip in the fire to harden the wood. Then a few of my men and i stood above him with the spear and plunged it in his eye. He woke with a great roar realizing that he had been blinded by us. He than opened the exit knowing we would flee and he would try to catch us and eat us all. As we exited the cave sheep started to run out of the cave and i got the idea to crawl under the cyclops acting as a sheep. A few of the men tried some being successful and one getting caught. The rest of the men ran out of the cave in shock. We then proceeded to our ship to make a hasty get away. As we were leaving I decided to taunt the the cyclops by telling him who i really was and how I had fooled him.
