The legends of ancient Greece tell us about a mythical creature, “part man and part bull”, called the Minotaur. People wereafraid of this strange and terrible beast ( LIVE) in a deep, dark Labyrinth on the island of Crete.

The Labyrinth ( DESIGN) by the ingenious mind of Daedalus.

Daedalus was a brilliant architect and inventor – in fact, he was so brilliant that King Minos of Crete ( NOT WANT) tolet him go back to his home in Athens. Instead, he kept him as prisoner.

Daedalus lived with his son Icarus in a tower of the palace, and King Minos made him invent weapons of war that would make his army and navy even ( POWERFUL) than they already were.

Although Daedalus and Icarus had every comfort that they ( CAN) ask for, the father longed to return home to Athens. Icarus hardly remembered his city, but he too wanted to leave, because he longed to run and play in the open, ratherthan be in a tower all day.

Daedalus looked out over the waves of the sea, and he realised that even if they managed to slip out of the tower and finda little boat, they would not be able to sail far. One of King Minos’s ( SEAMAN) would spot and catch them very soon.

Going on a hikeSimon and I were in a school football team. Occasionally, the team took field trips to places outside of our neighbourhood on the weekends. Last week, our coach Mr Brown ______ we were going on a hike through a forest in a statepark.

Simon is my best friend, and the two of us had both liked the trips to the museums, plays, and basketball games. We weren’t all that ______ in the outdoors.

______, Mr Brown claimed that we’d really enjoy discovering how amazing nature can be – especially for the big city kids. Simon and I were sure we’d rather be back home playing video games.

Now we were in a state park, marching through woods as ______as a grizzly bear’s fur. Our group of 12 kids had been hiking for a good 30 minutes when Simon and I grew bored and stepped away from the group to take somepictures.

I looked around, shouting, “Check out that tree – it’s kinda cool. Doesn’t its shape ______ you of an elephant?”

“Ha! It does,” Simon replied. “And look at how those rocks are formed over there. You don’t see stuff like that in the city, now do you?”For the next few minutes, we got caught up in ______ flowers, leaves, animals, and little caves we hadn’t seen before. The more we opened up to the forest, the more it opened up to us. We were beginning to see the amazing things around us.

Out here, away from the city, I was starting to get what Mr Brown had ______ us about how wonderful nature could be.
