Hurriedly, King Midas came to see the god Baccus and pleaded him to take his
power away. Baccus refused and asked the king to keep the gift. Then King Midas knelt
and begged for Baccus to forgive him. “It was wrong to be greedy and to love gold so
much,” said the grieving king.
Baccus felt sorry for King Midas and told him the way to cure him of the curse.
He told King Midas to go to Pactolus River and wash in its water. The king did so right
away.
On the way back to his palace, King Midas touched everything around him.
When they did not turn into gold, he was so relieved. However, his children were still
golden statues in the garden. Seeing that, he quickly brabbed a bucket, ran to Pactolus
River and scooped up some water. He went back to the garden with the bucket of water
and poured it over his golden children. They instantly came alive.
King Midas then called his srvants, “Get rid of all the golden things in the palace.
I no longer wanted to see anything golden.” Now he enjoyed being able to eat and drink
again.
King Midas had found that all the gold in the world did not bring happiness. He
no longer dreamed of becoming the richest king in the world.
