| Result Of Greed - Story |
Once
upon a time there was king called Midas. He was extremely fond of gold.
Although he had a lot of it, he wanted more. He thought if he had the
golden touch, he would be the happiest man. 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 he touched it, the apple turned in to gold. He could hardly
believe his eyes. Then whatever he touched, everything turned into gold.
As he entered his house, his little daughter ran up to him and he took
her in his arms. Instantly she turned into gold - The king was struck
with horror. The king cried out in anguish. Immediately the wise god
took the golden touch away and the girl became human again.
