Every night King Midas went to bed thinking about his gold. He had lots of it, all locked away in chests and hidden in secret places so no-one else could touch it.  \nThe king’s daughter, a little princess with shiny black hair, was glad her father had so much gold. She just wished he didn’t have to count it every day. Then, perhaps, he could spend some time with her.  \nOne day, the little princess disturbed King Midas in the middle of counting his treasure.  \n“Father! Father!” she cried, pulling at his arm. “Come and play in the garden with me.”  \n“I’m sorry, my little princess,” said the King. “Not just now, I must finish counting all my gold. One golden goblet, two golden cups…”  \nYou see, King Midas was very greedy. He wanted to have more gold than any other king in the world!  \nWhen at last all his gold had been counted and safely hidden away again, the king headed for the garden to find his daughter, still thinking of how to get more gold.  \n“Gold, gold, I need more gold,” he was mumbling when he met a satyr, a strange looking creature who was half man and half goat.  \n“Can I pick an orange from your tree?” asked the satyr.  \n“Have as many as you like,” said King Midas, who was still thinking about his gold.  \nThe satyr helped himself to some fruit.  \n“Your kindness deserves a reward,” he said. “Tell me what you wish for most in the world, and I’ll grant it for you.”“Mmmmmm,” wondered King Midas. “Now what do I want most?”  \nThere were lots of things he could ask for. A pony for his little princess. A good harvest for his farmers. Peace amongst his people. But finally, his mind was made up.  \n“I want everything I touch to turn to gold,” he said with a big smile on his face.  \n“Are you sure?” asked the satyr.  \n“Yes! Yes! Yes!” Midas assured him. “At last I’ll have more gold than any other king!”  \n“Very well,” said the satyr as he trotted off, chewing on an orange. “Your wish is granted.”  \nKing Midas looked at the trees and flowers around him.  \n“Can I really change everything into gold just by touching it?” he wondered.  \nHe picked a flower and – yes! It turned to solid gold. He tapped a snail on its shell and that too, turned to gold! The king ran indoors. He touched bowls and basins. He ran his fingers along curtains and cushions – gold! Gold! Gold! All turned instantly to gold. King Midas could hardly believe it. He called for his servants.  \n“Bring me some food,” he ordered.“And the best wine in the cellar. I want to celebrate!”  \nQuickly, the servants laid the table and poured the king a goblet of wine. King Midas held it to his lips but…gold! The wine turned to solid gold the moment it touched his lips.  \n“Meat!” he roared, putting down the goblet. A servant handed him a platter of partridges cooked in honey but…gold!  \nKing Midas threw them to the floor.  \n“What have I done?” he sighed miserably. “I’ll never be able to eat or drink again. I’ll starve.”  \nJust then, his little princess came running in from the garden. She was about to give her father a big hug when…“STOP! Don’t touch me,” King Midas shouted.  \nThe Princess looked sad.“Papa, why not? What have I done?”  \n“Oh, my little princess. You haven’t done anything,” cried the king. “It’s me, I’m cursed. Everything I touch gold.”  \nThe little princess couldn’t understand.  \n“But you love gold, father. What could be better?” she said.  \nKing Midas shook his head miserably.“You can’t eat or drink gold princess. You can’t hug it. What am I going do?”  \n“If only we could find the person who put the curse on you,” said the princess.“Perhaps they could take it away again.”  \n“That’s it!” said King Midas and, quickly, he ran out of the palace, leaving a trail of golden footprints behind him.  \nWhen he caught up with the satyr, he fell to his knees.  \n“Please, take back your gift,” he begged. “I don’t want it anymore.”  \n“You mean you don’t want everything you touch to turn to gold after all","cbCailGwPUPFil1v","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailGwPUPFil1v","pdf",256316,1,4,"English","en",105,"# The Story of King Midas\n## Writing success criteria and Greater Depth\n## Challenge: What is a myth?\n## Compare key features of a myth","[{\"question\":\"Why does King Midas wish for everything he touches to turn to gold?\",\"answer\":\"He decides that he wants more gold than any other king and believes the wish will give him ultimate wealth.\"},{\"question\":\"What problem does King Midas face after his wish is granted?\",\"answer\":\"He cannot eat or drink because food and wine turn to gold the moment they touch him, leaving him miserable and unable to satisfy basic needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How does King Midas break the curse?\",\"answer\":\"He follows the advice of the satyr and washes in the river until the golden touch flows out of him, then returns to embrace his daughter.\"}]","The Story of King Midas -
