    1) Daedalus was asked 2 make a prison to trap the Minotaur.

    2) Daedalus was given the role of a master craftsman at the palace.

    3) The word which means the same as “really clever ” is genius.

    4) The feathers fall from Icarus’ wings because he began to fly higher and was too close to the sun.

    5) I would like to try Daedalus’ wings because I like to fly same like the birds and I can see all things above from the sky.
