 The King with The Golden Touch

In old Phrygia, there once lived a miserly king named Midas who thought that gold was
the only best thing a man could own. The more gold he possessed, the happier he would be.
On one occasion, King Midas had the good fortune of doing the god of wine, Dionysius, a
big favor. To return the favor, Dionysius said, "Make a wish, Midas, and it shall be granted."
Midas was thrilled. This was the chance he was waiting for and nothing in the world could
make him let it pass. Remembering how much he loved gold, he quickly exclaimed, "Give me the
gift of the golden touch."

At this Dionysius grew sad but a promise had to be kept. He granted the king's wish and
walked scornfully away.
"Ha, ha, ha! Now I have gold right at my fingertips!" laughed Midas as he slumped in his
throne congratulating himself for his extraordinary good luck. It was pure excitement at first,
turning everything to gold with his touch.
Outside, in his garden, the roses bloomed in abundance spreading their fresh fragrance
while the air filled with music by the song of the birds and the hum of the bees. But Midas could
not care about these. With his hunger for gold, he rushed outside and went from bush to bush
turning every one of them into gold. As the wind blew, the golden tinkle of the leaves and flowers
waving stiffly sounded like music in his ears.
His work done, Midas went back to his golden hall, tired and hungry. He
ordered his slaves to bring in some food so he could satisfy his appetite. However,
the minute the food touched his lips it turned into pure gold. Even the wine and the
water became a solid mass of gold in their cups. Now shocked at his golden treasures, the king's
excitement began to fade.
"What good would golden cups and plates do if I must die of hunger? he muttered as he pushed
away his golden dinnerware that came clanging down to his golden floor.
The arrival of his little daughter interrupted his thoughts. "Someone killed our roses. Find
him, Father, and punish him for what he has done!" came her childish cries.
The king tried to put his arms around his daughter to comfort her. But the minute he
touched her, she stiffened in his arms and became a golden statue. On seeing this, the horrified
servants took off, leaving the king all by himself.
All day King Midas sat beside the statue of his daughter, mourning for her. How he wished he
too would die and be done with his course.

At sundown Dionysius appeared, seeming to bring new life into the lonely palace.
"Now, are you satisfied?" the god asked.
"Forgive me!" Midas humbly answered. "I'm wrong, really wrong! It was too late to realize that
there are many things far more important than gold. Take back your gift. Right now, I could only
wish for death. But please, bring my daughter back to life."
"Very well then," Dionysius said to Midas. "Bathe in the stream in your garden to wash
away your golden touch."
Off to the stream Midas went and immersed himself in the cool purifying water. When he
came out, he felt refreshed and light of heart. He took some water with him and sprinkled it on
the roses in his garden and on the lovely golden statue of his daughter. Soon enough, the little
girl gasped, took her father's hand, and enjoyed the walk in the garden of roses that began to
bloom again.
