  Midas was a powerful king, both rich and greedy.Once he did a great favor for Bacchus, the god of wine.Bacchus offered Midas his choice of a reward.Midas answered at once.He asked that whatever he touched be turned into gold.Bacchus agreed, though he was sorry that Midas had not made a wiser choice.

  Midas was eager to put his newly gained power to the test.He pulled a branch from a tree.The branch became gold in his hand.He picked up a stone, it turned to gold.He touched the grass, it, too, turned to gold.

  Midas was overjoyed, returning home, he ordered his servants to prepare a magnificent meal.But when he picked up some bread, it turned to gold.He lifted a glass of wine to his lips.But before he could taste it, it turned to gold.

  Midas wished to free himself of his power.He hated the gift he had so recently hoped for.He raised his arms and begged and prayed for Bacchus to take away his deadly gift.

  Bacchus showed pity.“Go," he said, "to the River Pactolus.There dip yourself in.Wash away your greed and its punishment."
