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.
