Once upon a time, there was a king. Like most kings, he was wealthy—but also like a lot of kings, he wanted to be more wealthy. So he asked the gods to give him a gift. This was King Midas, and we all know what gift he asked for: the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. (Be careful what you ask for—you might get it!)
Midas received this gift, but the gods knew more than he did about what it would mean.
