The Golden Touch

 The Moral
Greed will always lead to
downfall.
There once was a king named Midas who
did a good deed for a Satyr. And he was
then granted a wish by Dionysus, the god
of wine.
For his wish, Midas asked that whatever
he touched would turn to gold. Despite
Dionysus’ efforts to prevent it, Midas
pleaded that this was a fantastic wish,
and so, it was bestowed.
Excited about his newly-earned powers,
Midas started touching all kinds of things,
turning each item into pure gold.
But soon, Midas became hungry. As he
picked up a piece of food, he found he
couldn’t eat it. It had turned to gold in his
hand. Hungry, Midas groaned, “I’ll starve!
Perhaps this was not such an excellent wish
after all!”
Seeing his dismay, Midas’ beloved
daughter threw her arms around him to
comfort him, and she, too, turned to
gold. “The golden touch is no
blessing,” Midas cried.
