King anting him one wish. The king thought for only a second and then said: "I
wish for everything I touch to turn to gold". And so it was.
The beautiful flowers in his garden turned towards to sun for light, but when
Midas touched them, they stood hard and gold. The king grew hungry and thin,
because each time he tried to eat, he found that his meal was a gold. His lovely
daughter, at his loving touch, turned the gold. His water, his bed, his clothes, his
friends, and the whole palace was gold.
King Midas saw that soon his whole kingdom would turn to gold unless he did
something right away. He asked Dionysus to take back his golden touch. Because the
king was ashamed and very sad, Dionysus took pity on him and fulfilled his request.
Instantly, King Midas was poorer, but richer, he felt, in the things that really count.
