King Midas
The golden touch
Dionysus gave a power to king Midas. It was the power to turn things to gold. He gave the power to him because King Midas helped Dionysus’ teacher. At first it was kind of nice for the king but then it became a curse. Even when he tried to eat all the food he touched turned to gold. He prayed to Dionysus and the god told him to bathe in the river Pactolus. Midas bathed and the touch was gone. But the sands of the river turned to gold too.
