totle is“ The Golden Touch ”
Long , long ago there lived in Greece a king whose
name was Midas . He was a greedy man and loved gold
better than anything else in the world .
One day he asked the gods to give him still more gold .
The gods decided to punish him and said :“Very well ; in the
morning everything that you touch will become gold .”
Midas was overjoyed when he heard this .“I shall be the
richest man in the world ,”he said to himself .
He got up early next morning . When he touched his bed , it turned to gold . He began to dress , and his clothes
became gold . Midas was delighted .
The king went to have his breakfast . He took a cup of milk , but it immediately turned to gold . Then he t
piece of bread , and that also changed into gold . Midas now
began to feel unhappy . It was good to be the richest man in the world , but he was hungry , and he could not eat or drink gold .
Midas went out into the garden again . His little daughter was there . When she saw her father , she ran up to
him . King Midas was very fond of his daughter and he kissed her tenderly . Then and there she turned into a golden
statue .
Midas was now very unhappy . He went into his palace . His eyes filled with tears , and he begged the gods to take
away the Golden Touch .
“ I was very foolish to love gold so much ,” he said .
“ Take all my gold and give me back my daughter .”
“Go ,” said the gods ,“ and wash your hands in the river near your garden , and the water will take away the Golden Touch .”
Midas went to the river and washed his hands . Then he ran quickly to the golden statue of his little girl . He kissed her again and she changed back into his pretty little
daughter .
Midas never forgot this lesson . He knew now that gold
did not bring happiness .
