A Summary of "The Boy who Flew too High"

 
“The boy who flew too high” is a Greek myth, which tells the story of Icarus and his father Daedalus, who were prisoners of King Minos due to the father’s brilliant and creative ideas. Both of them wanted to leave the tower where they were prisoned, but it wasn’t that easy, so after thinking for a long time, the father came up with the idea of making a pair of wings to fly away from the tower. The father asked the king for the materials without revealing his plan and once he got it, he started making them. When the pair of wings were ready, the father and his son practiced and mastered the art of flying. Once they were ready, the father told Icarus to leave and fly back home, Daedalus warned Icarus about three things: 1) not losing his path, 2) not flying too low because of the waves 3) not flying too high because of the sun. Icarus started his journey, soon he discovered how fun flying was, so he started flying too high. While watching him, his father tried to call him, but Icarus was too far gone to hear anything. Sadly, as it was expected, Icarus was too close to the sun, which caused his wings to melt. Icarus lost the power of flight and sank into the sea.
