Daedalus and Icarus

1. Cunning- Skillful and clever 2. Captive- imprisonment; kept within bounds

3. Glimpse- a very quick look; a peek 4. Quench- to satisfy; to put an end to a need or desire



I read about a man and his poor boy who were imprisoned in a tower for being to cunning.
They really hated prison life but then it became normal and so they devised a plan to escape one day. There plan was to build wings of wax,feathers and string and when Daedalus was finished they both started practicing on how to fly then one day they pulled it off. When they were up in the sky they were happy to be free. but half way there Daedalus's sun Icarus got to high and the sun melted his wings and he fell like a rock and drowned.

What I learned from this story is that pay attention or it can lead you to deep trouble I know that from experience.
