Is it really Odysseus?

Penelope is completely shocked that her long lost  husband is back, really and truly back. She is unable to speak or move because of how utterly amazed that her loving Odysseus is back home in Ithaca after all these years. Telemachus begins to shout at his mother. ' Father has traveled all this way back home and you don't even say a single word to him!'  Telemachus is furious at Penelope for being this way to his father. Penelope wants proof that his is actually her husband. She then tells a maid to move her bed out into the hall way so that Odysseus may have a place to sleep for the night. Now, when the bed had been constructed, one of the posts was a live tree that went through the floor and roof, making Penelope's bed impossible of movement. When Odysseus said that the bed was incapable of movement Penelope knew that this was her dearly beloved husband she had missed so. and just as Odysseus and Telemachus had re-united, Odysseus and Penelope shared a tearful and emotion reunion. The End!
