1.
The wish was a king of great fortune who ruled
the Phrygia in Asia Minor, he had everything a king could ask for.
2.
He shared his life of abundance with his
beautiful daughter, even though he was very rich, Midas thought that his
greatest happiness was provided by gold.
Money was his obsession.
3.
Dionyssus, the God of celebration was very
grateful of Midas for his kindness, he promised Midas to satisfy any wish of
him
4.
Midas’s hope/wish was “I hope everything I touch
becomes gold”
5.
The next day Midas was very eager to see if his
wish came true, he touched a small table and it turned to gold, following up
with a chair, carpet, the door and his bathtub.
6.
He sat on the table to have his breakfast and
took a rose to absorb the fragrance, when he touched it, it turned into gold.
7.
I suppose he thought in disappointment.
8.
He suddenly started to sense fear, tears filled
in his eyes.
9.
Midas hugged his daughter, she turned into a
golden statue!
10.
Despaired and fearful, he raised his arms and
prayed to Dionyssus to take this curse
from him.
11.
The God heard and felt sorry for him and told
Midas to go to the river and wash his hands, and he saw gold flowing from his
hands.
12.
Midas turned home and everything he touched had
become normal again.
13.
Midas hugged his daughter in full happiness and
decided to share his great fortune with his people.
14.
From now on, Midas became a better person,
generous and grateful for all the goods of his life.
15.
His people led a prosperous life and when he
died, they all mourned for their beloved king. /
