The More Man Gets, The More He Wants

Once upon a time, there was a king called Midas. He was very rich but he always longed for more riches. Moreover, he was fond of gold though he had a lot of it.

He thought if he had the golden touch, he would be the happiest man. A wise god granted his wish promptly. Having the golden touch, he was very happy.

Whatever he touched was turned to gold. He felt he was the happiest man in the world. He came back to the palace. Seeing him, his sweet little daughter came upto him. He touched her and she immediately turned to gold. The king loved his daughter more than anything else. He could not bear her condition. He began to weep and felt repentant to get his wish granted. Then the god took pity on him. He took away the power of golden touch.
