He was born in 1452 and, when he was young, he lived in the beautiful city of Florence. He wos the student of a painter, and Leonardo became one of the most famous painters who hos ever lived. But Leonardo was also on architect, a scientist and an inventor. He invented many interesting machines, but a lot of his machines did not work very well . . 2. One evening Leonardo was walking through the main square of Florence with two of the young students who were studying painting with him there. There was a market in one corner of the square, where people were selling birds in cages. The young men stopped and looked at the birds. Leonardo watched them flying in their cages. He started to wonder if people could learn to fly, 00. He wondered if he could invent and make a flying machine. He bought some of the birds. He watched them ond made drawings of their wings. Then he opened the cages and let the birds fly away. He started to build a flying machine with wings which moved up and down, like the birds’ wings. It was made of wood. 3 When the flying machine was ready, he asked his young students which of them would try to fly it. Marco, the youngest and lightest student, agreed to try. Leonardo and his students carried the flying machine out to the square one morning. A lot of people came to watch. They were very excited. They wanted to see who was going to fly the machine. They wanted to see if it would fly, 10 Marco climbed into the machine. He storied fo push the pedals with his feet, like abicycle. The pedals went round faster and faster, the ropes turned and the wings moved up and down, The whole machine started to shake... but it did not fly. It was too heavy. The crowd went home. They felt very disappointed. 4 But Leonardo and his students decided fo try again. This time Leonardo invented o very light machine with very big wings. He wanted to find out if a lighter flying machine would fly. Again Leonardo asked his students who would fly the new machine. Zola, who was the strongest and bravest of Leonardo's students, agreed to try to fly with the big wings. . They went fo the top of a tall building in Florence and Zola put on the wings. The crowds came to watch. They stood in the square and looked up to see if the new machine would fly successfully. Zola tied the wings onto his arms. He opened the wings and started to move them up and down. Then he jumped off thetop of the building. But he did not fly. He fell and there was a loud crash. i The people quickly ran to help him, but Kj he was not badly hurt. Leonardo and his students did not try to make any more ©] flying machines.
