Once upon a time, a long time ago, a horrible monster lived in the centre of a huge labyrinth on the island of Crete.

When the prince Theseus arrived to the centre of the maze he found the fearsome (temible) Minotaur.

Theseus followed the thread (hilo) until the main gate (puerta).

He met Ariadne outside the labyrinth and they hurried (se apresuraron) to the port of Crete.

King Minos was terribly furious when he found out (se dio cuenta) that the Minotaur had been killed and his daughter had sailed to Athens with Theseus.

He decided to punish (castigar) the architects of the labyrinth: Daedalus and his son Icarus were abandoned in the centre of the maze.

But Daedalus was a skillful worker. He made wings for flying using feathers (plumas) and beeswax (cera de abejas).

Daedalus and his son Icarus flew leaving the maze behind.

Icarus flew so high that the sun melted (derritió) the wax by which his wings were glued, the wings shattered (se hicieron añicos) and they fell into the water.
