King Midas loves gold. Nevertheless, does he love it too much?
Long ago in Greece, there was a very rich king called King Midas. King Midas is crazy for gold. In addition to decorating his palace with gold, he even ate off plates with gold. Instead of looking after his kingdom, King Midas spent most of his time counting his gold…
King Midas cared about gold whenever it is. King Midas always said,“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all these flowers were gold?”while walking in the garden. “Well, a gold fountain would be perfect,”said the king.“I wish I could touch things and turn them into gold.”
One day, when King Midas was in his storeroom counting his gold, a stranger dressed in gold-colored clothes suddenly appeared in front of him.“I heard the wish you made,”said the stranger. “I can grant your wish and give you the golden touch.”Hearing the key words, needless to say, King Midas gladly demanded the golden touch…
When entrying the gold-colored kingdom, you would see that King Midas is excitedly touching things in the magnificent palace and turning them into gold！Anything turned to gold in a wink with the magical power. Nevertheless, Midas could not suppress the desire for gold until his his hug unexpectedly turned his beloved daughter, Marygold, into gold！At the moment, King Midas realized. He cried and changed anything back to get his daughter alive...
“The Golden Touch” is an ancient story in the “Greek mythology” and has passed through centuries down to this day. As we know, King Midas realized the true meaning of happiness and got one more chance to make it right at the end of the story.
Nevertheless, when mistakes have been made, is it really possible to get one more chance easily in real life?
“A chance to change” is very common in stories. According to the plot of this story, the stranger, who gave King Midas the golden touch, dramatically appeared again after King Midas had experienced the happiness and sadness between gold and his daughter, Marygold. However, sadly to say, Chances are lost easily in real life. Miracle seldom knocks on the door. At the moment you got the golden touch, you should have used it carefully. The golden touch not only constructs the sweet dream, but also leads to the tragedy. In other words, being greedy for gold drives a person crazy.
Do you think money is really important? Indeed, with money we can have a lot in the world, but there are still many things we can not get with money, for instance, family, friendship, love, and happiness. Some one with a golden touch can make money from whatever they do, but can they also be successful at anything they do? Actually, money is not everything and it does not always bring happiness. When it comes to money, a greedy person is easily to become another King Midas. So, it is important for us to learn how to make money your servant, but not your master！
