Have you ever wondered how it felt to be a King of great
fortune?
The king Midas ruled the country of Phrygia in Asia Minor,
he had everything a king could ask for.
He had authority, riches and an over flowing bank account
adding with population worshipped him.
He lived in a luxurious prestigious modernised castle nearby
a river.
However he was never satisfied or happy. (WHY IS THAT?)
He shared his abundance life with his beautiful daughter who
wore glistening garments, she had rich gold, blonde bouncy hair, she had a
capturing deep blue sea eyes which you couldn’t help but gaze through, adding
on with her pearl whitened teeth which complimented her smile.
Although he was very rich and money was his obsession, the
king thought that his greatest happiness was provided by gold gold gold &
MORE GOLD.
One afternoon, on a warm, blissful-blazing-bright spring
sunny day, Silenus walked happily through the kingdom of Midas. The almighty
God of wine and revelry got delayed along the way, Dionyssus started getting
tired and decided to take a peaceful nap in the famous rose gardens,
illustrated with different shapes and colours to each rose, resembling to a
rainbow.
The king walked by and recognised him and instantly invited
him to spend a few days at his enticing palace. (HAND GESTURES INVITING THE AUDIENCE

After that, Midas himself took him to Dionyssus, the God of
celebration. Was very pleased of Midas’s kindness towards him.
He then promised Midas to satisfy any wish of him, Midas
went into profound thought *tick tock tick tock* (BUZZZZ)
He said: I HOPE THAT EVERYTHING I TOUCH BECOMES GOLD!
(STAMPS)
Although Dionyssus warned the king to think well about his
wish, Midas was to distracted and positive about his SINFUL wish.
(QUICK) The next morning Midas JUMPS OUT OF BED in a rush to
discover if his selfish wish came true.
He extended his arm touching a small table that immediately
turned into gold (PING, Midas was over the moon and remained touching the chair
(PING), the carpet (PING) and the bathtub (PINGGGGGG)
He sat on the table to have his breakfast and took a rose to
absorb the fragrance (SNIFFS), when he touched it, it turned into gold. (PAUSE)………………….
He became very miserable.
I suppose he thought in disappointment.
He suddenly started the sense fear (SHAKES), tears filled in
his eyes (SNIFFS)
His gorgeous daughter entered the room amazed as she looked
at everything that became gold, she glanced at her father as she heard him cry,
she screamed ‘Father what’s the matter, I’ve never seen you cry before’ as she
rushed to embrace him with comfort, she turned into gold.
Despaired and fearful, he kneeled to the floor and raised
his arms and prayed to Dionyssus to take this curse from him.
‘Dear God I know you might not want to hear me, but please
God forgive for my sin, remove this curse of my hands.’
The God heard and spoke in authority ‘My son I’ve heard you,
I am glad you got to realised what your selfish ways have led you to’
The God felt sorry for him and told Midas to go to the river
and wash his hands, as he done so, he saw gold flowing from his hands.
Midas turned home and everything he touched turn normal
again.
Midas hugged his daughter in full happiness and decided to
share his great fortune with his people. (OFFERS A HAND TO ONE PEROSON IN THE
AUDINCE TO JOIN THE SCENE OF UNITY)
From now on, Midas became a better person, generous and
grateful for all the goods of his life.
His people led a prosperous life and when he died, they all
mourned for their beloved King.
