Title: The Greedy king


Once upon a time, there lived a king. He had a lovely princess.
The king loved her very much. He was also greedy for gold. The king
often said to himself, If all the gold in the world belong to me, we
would live more happily.
One day, when the king was praying, he made a wish. He wished
that if all the things he touched could turn into gold, he would be
contented.
The kings wish came true. As soon as the king touched his
walking stick, it turned into gold. He touched his chair, it too turned
into gold. The king was very happy, because in the Palace, everything
touched by him could turn into gold. He was very thankful to God.
Not long afterwards, a tragic thing happened. The king could not
eat anything, because all his food and drinks turned into gold as soon
as touched by him. The worse was that when he stretched out his hand
to pat the princess, his lovely princess also turned into a gold statue.
On seeing this, he was very sad. He regretted that he had ever made
such a wish.
One day, the king made another wish. He prayed that if his
princess could come back to her life, he would give up all the gold

happily. The wish again came true. He touched the princess, she
moved and hugged the king. All other things in the Palace turned into
its original self too. Since after, the king never liked gold anymore.
