• Kind Midas was very rich. He loved things made of
  gold. Many people in King Midas land were very
  poor. We must help the poor, your majesty, said
  the kings minister. King Midas did not care for
  the poor. He was more interested in counting his
  gold coins.

4

• King Midas had a daughter. Her name was Marigold.
  She liked to pick flowers in the garden. King
  Midas often gave gifts made of gold to Marigold

5

• I want to became the richest king, said King
  Midas to his minister. How? asked the minister.
  I want everything I touch to turn into gold,
  said King Midas. 

6

• A fairy wanted to teach the greedy King Midas a
  lesson. You can have your wish. Everything that
  you touch will turn into gold from tomorrow,
  said the fairy. King Midas was very happy. I
  shall become the richest king, he said. King
  Midas woke up early the next morning. First, he
  touched his blanket. It turned into gold. King
  Midas was delighted. He touched many other things
  in the palace. All turned into gold. 

7

• King Midas was excited. He went straight to the
  garden. There, the king touched the flowers and
  Marigolds pets. All of them turned into gold.
  King Midas returned to the palace happily and sat
  at his breakfast table.

8

• All the food that King Midas touched turned into
  gold. He could not eat his breakfast. Marigold
  was surprised. All the flowers and her pets
  looked different. Marigold was sad. The flowers
  have lost their sweet smell. My pets cannot move
  anymore, she said. Marigold could not play with
  her favourite animals. She cried. Do not cry.
  You should be happy. I am now the richest king,
  said King Midas. Marigold went on crying. 

9

• King Midas reached out and patted her. At once,
  Marigold turned into gold. The kings doctor
  could not bring Marigold back to life. King Midas
  was very sad.

10

• The sad King Midas went for a walk. He saw the
  poor having their meal. He too was hungry but he
  was afraid to touch his food. He knew that his
  food would turn into gold. King Midas also saw
  many children playing happily. He was sad because
  his daughter could not play anymore.

11

• Suddenly, the fairy appeared. Why are you sad?
  Arent you now the richest king? asked the
  fairy. Yes. I am the richest king, but all the
  gold has not made me happy. Please help me, said
  King Midas. The fairy knew that King Midas would
  never become greedy again

• . Pour the water from this magic jug over
  everything you have touched, said the fairy.
  When King Midas poured the water over the flowers
  in the garden, they became fresh again. King
  Midas was very happy.

13

• King Midas ran quickly to his daughter and poured
  the water over her. Marigold became a real person
  again. From that day, King Midas became a king of
  kings. He helped the poor and lived happily.
