Explanation:
Bonjour,
Answer:
<em>J'avais saisi le pieu d'olivier ; je l'avais mis à chauffer sous le monceau de cendres ; je parlais à mes compagnons pour les encourager si l'un d'eux m'avait abandonné ! Quand le pieu est au point de flamber, je le tire du feu et je l'apporte en courant.</em>
<em>Mes compagnons, debout, m'entourent : un dieu les animait d'une nouvelle audace. Ils soulèvent le pieu : dans l'oeil du cyclope, ils en fichent la pointe . Moi, je pèse d'en haut et la fais tourner . Le cyclope arrache de son oeil le pieu trempé de sang et le rejette au loin. Il appelle à grands cris ses voisins qui accourent et sont là debout tout autour de la grotte. Une grosse pierre en bouche l'entrée .</em>
