King Midas

Once upon a time there was a king named Midas. He was extremely fond of gold. Though he had a lot, he wanted more and more. He wished to God to have the golden touch. Then, the mighty God granted his wish. One day he was sitting in the garden, an apple fell from the tree. He touched it and instantly the apple turned into gold. He became very glad and ran into the palace. He embraced his daughter in joy but instantly the girl turned into gold. Whatever he touched, it turned into gold. He could understand his mistake. Then he again prayed to God to take away his golden touch. Wise God granted his wish again and everything became normal.
