KING MIDAS' GOLDEN TOUCH
Once there was a rich king. His name was Midas. Though he was rich, he had an extreme greed for gold. He prayed to God for golden touch. It meant, whatever he touched would be turned into gold. God granted his prayer. The king was very happy. He enjoyed turning everything around him into gold just by touching it. Thus he amassed great wealth. In the fit of happiness he embraced his loving daughter. Then and there the daughter became a statue of gold. The king became disappointed. With a heavy heart, he started praying to God to take back the boon and give back life to his daughter. He was doubly happy when God took away the boon.
Moral:- One should not be greedy.
