Midas' face and darkness. That is all that may be seen. A
sober, majestic look is upon the man's face as he stares
straight ahead; a thousand miles into the distance.
NARRATOR
Once upon a time, before the nations
of Greece or Rome but after the time
of Babylon the Great there was a
kingdom. This kingdom had a ruler.
His name was Midas.
A crown is placed upon MIDAS and he bows his head in
reverence.
NARRATOR (CONT'D)
Now above all he loved gold.
INT. GOLD ROOM – CONTINUOUS
MIDAS coos and awes as he runs gold coins through is hand
and fondles a magnificent golden vase on a small table in
the center of the room. The entire room is full of gold.
It is highlighted in the center by the only light in the
room, a square hole in the ceiling which shines down upon
the little table in the center of the room and the beauty of
the objects in question which MIDAS is examining. In the
dark he smiles to himself.
NARRATOR
Midas loved gold so much that he
could not stand to have it seen in
public and would squirrel it all
away to one dark corner of the palace
basement; a dungeon which Midas
created for himself and his precious
commodity. But it was not enough,
in his greed he was unsatisfied with
the riches he amassed for himself
and he called daily for more and
more.
Midas screams at servants who bow obediently.
EXT. MEADOWS – DAY
NARRATOR
The only other thing which Midas
loved above all was his daughter, Zoë, who he considered his own little goddess.
ZOE runs through the meadow, golden hair streaming behind
her, clasping little yellow wildflowers against her chest.
Her pink cheeks are blushed with the exertion of her running. Her dimples shine through the rosy haze and her smile is exuberant. She is giggling and laughing out loud as she evades an apparently imaginary foe. Breathlessly, she halts under a tree and looks around unable to find the object of her attention. Suddenly from behind her on the other side of the tree MIDAS jumps and brings her to the floor of the meadow tickling and her and laughing as she loses her flowers to the ground. MIDAS is a strong man, large, and regal. His short beard is brown but grey hairs peek from the inside. His laugh is loud and boisterous and his eyes are alive with his smile.
ZOE
Oh, Father, now I've lost my
beautiful, golden flowers!
ZOE scrambles to pick them from the ground and MIDAS helps
her as he recovers from his laughter. He pears softly at
the Marigolds in his hand and a twitch appears at the edge
of his lips. A thought is forced into the open.
MIDAS
(almost whispering)
How much fairer would be your flowers
were they of real gold, Zoë?
ZOE smiles as she looks up at him with a devious grin.
ZOE
Not all of us can have the riches of
King Midas, Father.
MIDAS smiles back at her.
MIDAS
Ah, but some of us can.
(getting to his feet)
Now, you had better catch me or else
you will never see your precious
flowers again!
With a leap MIDAS is on his feet and flying back down the
meadow towards the royal palace, his daughter close in chase.
EXT. RIVER – DAY
MIDAS runs through the woods adjacent to the meadows not
noticing that his daughter is far behind him. Before long
he finds himself standing on the edge of a rocky river, his
sandals already standing in an inch of water. He looks around him for his daughter but she is nowhere to be found.
MIDAS
Zoë?
Finally, he looks towards the river and there, lying on the
pebbly beach of the river is a fish. MIDAS looks at it
amazed. It is no ordinary fish, it was monstrous, huge, and
very much alive. It thrashes its fins back and forth but to no avail. The fish could not move. MIDAS approaches and looks upon the pathetic creature. Its eyes lolled in its head and its mouth gasped for life giving water. MIDAS, in a sincere act of mercy goes to the fish and lifts if from the shallows. As it is held in his arms the fish stops struggling and lies still. Then, to MIDAS' surprise as soon as the fish is set back in the deeper water it transforms into a girl with blonde hair. One of the fairest young women which MIDAS has ever seen. For only a moment she stares into MIDAS' eyes and then with a kick of her legs she is gone into the water. Midas is aghast with amazement. Surely this could not really have happened! One more surprise awaits MIDAS. As he turns to look once again towards the river, he sees something which has not been there before. Standing on the surface of the water is a RIVER GODDESS clothed all in white with a crown of watercresses and gold. Her long hair falls to her waist and on her face is a small smile.
RIVER GODDESS
Greetings, wise King Midas.
MIDAS backs slowly away from the river, afraid to trample on
holy ground and afraid he may in some way have offended the
RIVER GODDESS.
MIDAS
Yes, my Lady. What have I done to
earn the honor of your attention?
The RIVER GODDESS turns her head and her smile grows wider.
RIVER GODDESS
My dear Midas, do you not know?
(beat)
You saved my daughter from drowning
on the rocks and we owe you our thanks
for your honorable service.
Answer:
When our value system is not clear, getting what we want can be a bigger tragedy. The story of King Midas says it all.
When our value system is not clear, getting what we want can be a bigger tragedy. The story of King Midas says it all.We all know the story of the greedy king named Midas. He had a lot of gold and the more he had the more he wanted. He stored all the gold in his vaults and used to spend time every day counting it.
One day while he was counting a stranger came from nowhere and said he would grant him a wish. The king was delighted and said, “I would like everything I touch to turn to gold.” The stranger asked the king, Are you sure?” The king replied, “Yes.” So the stranger said, “Starting tomorrow morning with the sun rays you will get the golden touch.” The king thought he must be dreaming, this couldn’t be true.

He looked out of the window and saw his daughter playing in the garden. He decided to give her a surprise and thought she would be happy. But before he went to the garden he decided to read a book. The moment he touched it, it turned into gold and he couldn’t read it. Then he sat to have breakfast and the moment he touched the fruit and the glass of water, they turned to gold. He was getting hungry and he said to himself, “I can’t eat and drink gold.” Just about that time his daughter came running and he hugged her and she turned into a gold statue. There were no more smiles left.
The Maidas Touch
The Maidas TouchThe king bowed his head and started crying. The stranger who gave the wish came again and asked the king if he was happy with his golden touch. The king said he was the most miserable man. The stranger asked, “What would you rather have, your food and loving daughter or lumps of gold and her golden statue?” The king cried and asked for forgiveness. He said, “I will give up all my gold. Please give me my daughter back because without her I have lost everything worth having.” The stranger said to the king, “You have become wiser than before” and he reversed the spell. He got his daughter back in his arms and the king learned a lesson that he never forget for the rest of his life.
