Midas is very weathly king. His hobby was collecting gold. From the time he got
up in the morning to the time he went to bed, he would count his gold.
One
morning, as he was sitting alone in the garden, Dionysius, the gold of wine,
came to him and said, “ Midas, I grant you a touch of gold. Whatever you touch,
it will turn into gold. Be careful. What thing will bring you the most
happiness might cause you the greatest grief. ”
Midas was
very happy. He didn`t heed Dionysius`s warning. He touch a tre and it run to
gold. He touch his palace and it turned to gold. Midas danced joyfully.
Suddenly,
he realized that he couldn`t eat because when he touch the food, it turn to
gold. He was very hungry and the worst thing happened when his daughter ran to
him crying and complained that all the flowers in the garden had turned to
gold. When Midas touched his beloved
daughter, she turned to gold. He was extremely unhappy.
Finally,
Midas went back to Dionysius and said, “ Please tack back your gift. I no
longer want the golden touch. I realized that wealth does not always bring
happiness. “
Dionysius
laughed, I see that you have changed. Go and bathe in the river of poctulus.
The spell will be undone and your woe will be gone.
