King Midas was a very kind man who ruled his kingdom fairly. God Dionysus decided to reward King Midas by granting him one wish. The king thought for a second and said: I wish for everything I touch to turn to gold. And so it was. The beautiful flowers in his garden became gold when Midas touched them. The king grew hungry and thin, for each time he tried to eat, he found that his meal had turned to gold. His lovely daughter, at his loving touch, turned hard and fast to gold. His water, his bed, his clothes, his friends, and eventually the whole palace was gold. Midas saw that soon his whole kingdom would turn to gold unless he did something right away. He asked Dionysus to turn everything back to the way it had been and take back his golden touch. Because the king was ashamed and very sad, Dionysus took pity on him and granted his request. Instantly, King Midas was poorer that he had been, but richer, he felt, in the things that really count.
