Daedalus lived with his son Icarus in a tower of the palace,

they wouldn’t not be able to sail very far before they were spotted and caught by one of the ships of King Minos’s navy.

Here he arranged them in four lines, starting with the smallest fathers,

and following those with the longer ones, so that they formed gentle curves.

While he was working, Icarus played with the wax, squashing it between his finger and thumb,

and when the feathers blew away in the breeze he ran after them and caught them.
blow:if the wind or a current of air blows, it moves

and began to flap them until his feet took off from the floor and he began to hover in mid air.
flap:if a bird flaps its wings, it moves them up and down in order to fly


The story from ancient Greece.

So Daedalus made wings that made of feathers and wax.

He makes wings that made of only feathers and wax.
Icarus is brave.
He flies by only homemade wings.
