The Midas touch

In ancient Greek, there was a king named Midas. He had a lot of gold and
everything he needed. He also had a beautiful daughter. Midas loved his gold
very much, but he loved his daughter more than his riches. One day, a satyr
named Silenus got drunk and passed out in Midas’ rose garden. Believing that
Satyrs always bring good luck, Midas lets Silenus rest in his palace until he is
sober, against the wishes of his wife and daughter. Silenus is a friend of Dionysus,
god of wine and celebration. Upon learning Midas’s kindness towards his
friend, Dionysus decides to reward keg. When asked to wish for something,
Midas says “I wish everything I touch turns to gold”. Although Dionysus knew
it was not a great idea, he granted Midas his wish. Happy that his wish was
granted, Midas went around touching random things in the garden and his
palace and turned them all into gold. He touched the apple, and it turned into a shiny
gold apple. His subjects were astonished but happy to see so much gold in
a palace, Midas went and hugged his daughter. In his happiness, and before he
realized it, he turned her into a lifeless, golden statue! Aghast, Midas ran back to
the garden and called for Dionysus. He begged God to take away his power and
save his daughter. Dionysus gives Midas a solution to change everything back to
how it was before wish. Midas learned his lesson and lived the rest of his life
contended with what he had.
