Icarus was a boy who had wings made by his father, Daedalus, out of feathers and wax. He was very excited to fly and explore the sky, but his father warned him not to fly too close to the sun because the heat could melt the wax in his wings and cause him to fall.
As Icarus was flying, he got really excited and didn't listen to his father's warning. He flew too close to the sun and his wings melted, causing him to fall into the sea and drown.
The story of Icarus is often used to remind us to listen to wise advice and be cautious when we explore new things. It's important to have fun and try new things, but we need to make sure we're safe and not taking risks that could harm us.
