  aThe Midas Touch is a retelling of the classic Greek myth about King Midas, a wealthy but greedy man who wishes that everything he touches would turn to gold. At first, Midas is thrilled with his newfound power. He turns flowers, furniture, and even food into shining gold. But soon, he realizes the curse of his wish—he cannot eat, drink, or hug his daughter without turning her to gold.
The story teaches a powerful lesson about greed, gratitude, and the true value of life. Midas ultimately begs for the gift to be taken away, learning that riches mean nothing without love, joy, and human connection.8 a500
