                                                                King Midas


                                     Once   upon   a   time,   there
                              was   a   rich   king   who   was   never
                              happy. His name name was Midas.
                              Even though King Midas was already
                              rich, he dreamed to be richest king
                              in the world.
                                     King Midas loved sitting on
                              his     golden     throne     and
                              contemplating   ways   to   become
                              richer. One day, one of his servants came to him with an old man. He said the old man
                              had been found wandering around in the orchard. It was Silenus, the friend of the god
                              Bacchus.
                                     Suddenly, King Midas had an idea. He welcomed the old man and let him be his
                              guest for ten days. He served Silenus well.
                                     After ten days, King Midas took Silenus back to Baccus. The god was very happy
                              to see his lost friend. He then said to King Midas that he would grant  him any wish he
                              made.
                                     King Midas had been waiting for the offer. This was his chance to become the
                              richest king in the world. Without hasitating, hea sked so that everything he touched
                              would turninto gold. The god Baccus granted his wish.
                                     Upon returning to his palace. King Midas tested his new power. He picked up a
                              stone. Soon it turned into gold. A servant brought King Midas a bowl of water so that he
                              could wash his hands. As soon as he put his hands into the bowl, the water turned to
                              gold. Next, King Midas took a piece of bread. Before he could get it to his mouth, it too
                              had turned to gold. He could not eat any food beacuse it would turn to gold.
                                     Dejected, King Midas went for walk in his garden. His children ran up to him and
                              he held them in his arms. They immediately turned into gold statues. King Midas cried in
                              sadness seeing what he had done.
