~ King Midas ~

King Midas was a kind, fair, slow man. One day he was strolling in his beautiful garden , and he came across an elderly satyr , snoozing away in the flower bed . He let the satyr go, without any harm, so Dionysus rewarded him with one wish.The King only thought for a second. He wished for everything he touched to turn to gold, and Dionysus made it so .

He touched the radian flowers, and they turned to gold. He grew skimpy and hungry. Each time he tried to eat, the food turned to gold. Just trying to touch his beautiful daughter , he turned her to gold.

He knew he must do something, so he asked Dionysus to change every thing back to the way it was . Eventually , every thing was gold, and he was deeply depressed and ashamed . Dionysus took mercy on him, and granted him, his desire .

He was now poorer then before but yet richer in the things that really count in life .
