Explanation:
Once there lived a very cruel and harsh King of an island who treated his people without any mercy. One day he decided that a huge statue of his should be made so that people will remember him till posterity.
He heard that there were a father and son in the next island who were well known for their sculpting skills. He ordered that they are brought to his palace. They arrived and he immediately assigned the task to them.
He gave them a very short time and said that they had to work day and night without rest and complete it in two weeks’ time. The father and son worked very hard but could not cope up. They asked the King to let them go home for a week. The King refused.
The father and son decided to escape somehow. They worked hard and made a pair of wings of wax for both of them. They were ready to fly and the father told the son, ‘Son, please be careful. Don’t fly too high.” The son agreed.
Once he started flying, the son thought "Oh! I can fly like birds. What fun!” He started getting bolder and started flying high.
To his dismay, the wax on his wings melted and he fell into the sea and drowned. His father could not do anything about it but see with sadness, his son drowning.”
The undoing of the son was that he was not grounded to the reality that he was not made to fly.
