5 The golden touch

There was once a king named Midas who did a good deed for a Satyr and was granted a wish by the God of Wine, Dionysus. Midas requested that everything he touched turn to gold. Despite Dionysus’ best efforts, Midas argued that the request was wonderful, and it was granted!

Midas got thrilled as he went about touching everything and converting it into gold.

Midas looked to eat something as her was hungry. He picked up a piece of food, but could not eat as it changed into gold with his touch, and he couldn’t eat it! “Perhaps this wasn’t such a nice desire after all!” grumbled Midas.

When Midas’ beloved daughter saw him in distress, she wrapped her arms around him to console him, and she, too, turned to gold! Midas exclaimed, “The golden touch is no blessing. “He went to the river and wept. The sand of that river turned as yellow as “fool’s gold” for it is there, they say, that King Midas washed away the curse of the golden touch with his own tears.
