This book is King's story. His name was King Midas, he was a good king. He much loved by his people, but he had one downfall. One day, King Midas met a man. He was poor. Then, King Midas took pity on the man and took him back to the palace. At the end of the ten days, King Midas gave the man some money and sent him on his way. Watching over this act of kindness was Dionysus. He is God. He appeared before King Midas and said, "Your act of kindness will be rewarded. I grant you one wish." King Midas said "I want everything I touch to turn to gold." Dionysus granted King Midas his wish. King Midas got new power. He tried out it. Many things such as a rock and a flower turned to gold. He was glad. At dinner time, as he picked up a chicken leg, it turned to gold. He could not eat it. He called for his daughter and he said, "Please feed me or I will starve." The king's daughter put a fig in his mouth. As he ate it, he touched his daughter's hand. She turned to gold. King Midas was very sad. Then, he called out to Dionysus. King Midas said, "Please remove my wish! I am so unhappy." Dionysus removed King Midas's wish. King Midas was poorer than he had ever been before, but he was much happier as well. He knew that there were far more important things than money.
When I read this story, I want to get a power that touch to turn to gold. I want to be rich. But if everything turned to gold, I could not eat food. I like to eat, so I cannot stand hunger. I agree that there are more important things than money. I thought that money is everything to our. This book is very good story. I like this story.(348)
