    King Minos asks Daedalus to invent a prison that can trap a Minotaur.

    Look at the first paragraph. Find and copy one word which means the same as ‘really clever’.
    The word that means the same as ‘really clever’ is genius.

    Why did the feathers fall from Icarus’ wings?
    The feathers fell from Icarus’ wings because he flew too close to the sun, which melted the wax that was holding the feathers together.

    Would you like to try a pair of Daedalus’ wings? Explain your answer.
    I would like to try a pair of Daedalus’ wings because it would be exciting to fly high in the sky like a bird. However, I would make sure to follow the safety rules so that the wings don’t fall apart like they did for Icarus
