Long, long ago there lived in Greece a king whose name was Midas. He was a greedy man and loved
gold better than anything else in the world.
One day he asked the God (上帝) to give him still more gold. The God decided to punish him and
said:"Very well, in the morning everything that you touch will become gold."
He got up early the next morning. When he touched his bed, it turned to gold. He began to dress, and
his clothes became gold. Midas was delighted. The king went to have his breakfast. He took a cup of milk,
but it immediately turned to gold. Then he took a piece of bread, and that also changed into gold. Midas
now began to feel unhappy. It was good to be the richest man in the world. but he was hungry, and he
could not eat or drink gold. He went out into the garden. His little daughter Was there. When she saw her
father, she ran up to him. King Midas was very fond of his daughter and he kissed her tenderly. Then and
there she turned into a golden statue (雕塑).
