There once was a beautiful rose garden that belonged to a palace. This palace was home to King Midas.
One day in his garden, he found a satyr named Silenus sleeeping in his gaden.
Sorry.
King Midas was going to send word to his owner, the god Dionysus, when Silenus proposed a bargain. In return for him not telling his master, Silenus entertained King Midas by telling him stories.
Sounds like a deal.
Dionysus was grateful for King Midas taking care of Silenus and said he would give him any gift he could name.Because King Midas was greedy, he asked for the power to turn anything he touched into gold.
Anything!
Even though he needed nothing, he wanted everyone to look up to him.
Now I am the most powerful king in the world!
When he go back to his palace, he realized that he could not eat, for the bread turned to gold.
Uh, oh.
Nooooooooooooo!
He heard his daughter coming and told her to stay away from him but she was too excited to see him.
King Midas was on his way back to Dionysus to have his curse of a gift removed.
I can't live like this!
When he got there he got down on his knees and begged for him to take away his power.
Please!
You must travel to the Pactolus River and wash yourself.
I am content!
After he went to the river, he returned to find his daughter alive.
