Completing
story King Midas Or Greedy Man’s Tale:
Once
upon a time, there was a king called Midas. He was very rich. Yet he always
longed for more riches. Moreover, he was very fond of gold. He thought if he
had the golden touch, he would be the happiest man in the world. The desire of
having more and more gold afflicted him all the time. A wise God granted his
wish promptly. Half an hour later, as the king was sitting under an apple tree
in his garden, suddenly a ripe apple fell beside him. He picked it up. As soon
as he touched it, the apple turned into gold. He could hardly believe his eyes.
Then whatever he touched, everything turned into gold. As he entered his
palace. his little daughter rams up to him and he took her in his arms.
Instantly she turned into gold. He was struck with horror. He cried out in
anguish. Immediately the wise god took the golden touch away and the girl
became human again.
