The Trunk of the Olive Tree

Odysseus was home at last. However, Penelope was not convinced the man that has won the contest was her true husband. She lead him into their bedroom were a large bed stood, built from the trunk of an olive tree by Odysseus. The bed had been moved and, in an outrage, Odysseus asked how that bed could have possibly been moved, the very bed he had, himself, made. Knowing that only Odysseus could have knowledge of the bed, Penelope revealed that it was a test to see if he was in fact her husband. After discovering this fact, the two settled down for a long winters nap. As for us, we lost our title as groupies and returned to the bloodstained great hall to have a last glass of wine before hiking Everest. The End.
