Write a summary of the following passage. [Unit-3; Lesson-2(B)] On the island of Crete, the fearsome Minotaur, a creature that was half-man and half-bull, terrorized the inhabitants. To contain the beast. King Minos enlisted the help of Daedalus, a masterful architect and inventor. Daedalus constructed an intricate labyrinth so complex that escape was nearly impossible. Once the Minotaur was imprisoned within the maze, King Minos believed he had the perfect trap for his enemies, who would be sent into the labyrinth to meet a gruesome end. However, King Minos, no longer needing Daedalus, cruelly imprisoned the inventor and his son, Icarus, within the same labyrinth. Yet, Daedalus, familiar with the labyrinth's design. managed to escape with Icarus. After fleeing, they found themselves stranded on the island with no means of escape by sea. Observing the birds flying above, Daedalus was inspired to craft wings from feathers and wax for himself and his son. He warned Icarus to fly at a moderate height-too close to the sea, and the wings would become heavy with moisture; too close to the sun, and the wax would melt. Initially, Icarus heeded his father's advice, but soon, overwhelmed by the excitement of the flight. he soared higher and higher, forgetting the warning. As he ascended, the sun's heat melted the wax binding his wings. Helplessly, Icarus plummeted into the sea and drowned, leaving Daedalus to fly on alone, devastated by his son's tragic fate. He eventually reached Sicily, where he mourned Icarus and named the sea where his son fell the Icarian Sea in his memory.
উত্তর: King Minos of Crete got the help of Daedalus, a skilled architect to control the dreadful beast Minotaur. Daedalus made a complex labyrinth where the beast was once imprisoned by Minos. However, he brutally locked up Daedalus and his son Icarus in the same maze, who could easily get out of it later. Left helpless on the Island and inspired by birds Daedalus made wax wings to escape. Then they started flying but Icarus, forgetting his father's advice not to fly too near the sun and excited by his flight, flew near the sun which melted the wax. Consequently, he plunged into the sea and drowned. Daedalus reached Sicily, lamented his son and named the sea Icarian Sea.
