    King Midas

    Uploaded by

    King Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold after a god granted him a wish for doing a favor. However, he soon regretted his wish when he was unable to eat or hug his daughter without turning things to gold. When he accidentally turned his daughter into a gold statue, he begged the god to take back his wish. The god told Midas to wash in a river, and after emerging from the water, Midas discovered his touch had returned to normal when tree branches stayed green, allowing him to live happily ever after having learned that love, not gold, makes one rich.

    DAUGHTER

    SCRIPT:

    NARRATOR: Once upon a time there was a very kind King called Midas.  But there was something
    wrong with him.  He wanted to have all the gold in the world.

    MIDAS: Gold is more important to me than anything else in the world.  I don`t care about anything,
    I just want to have gold only for myself.

    NARRATOR: One day he did a favor to a god.

    GOD: Thank you for your favor.  I will give you anything you want.

    MIDAS: I wish that anything I touch would turn into gold.

    GOD: Your wish is foolish, Midas!.  You can get into a lot of trouble.  Think about it, Midas, think
    about it.

    MIDAS: That`s the only thing I want.

     
    GOD: Very well.  You wish will come true.

    NARRATOR: And his clothing was turned into gold, and his house, even his dog was turned into a
    statue of gold.

    MIDAS: I am really worried.  I can`t eat.  I can`t eat golden food!.  I can`t smell the gold flowers.

    NARRATOR: One day her daughter said.

    DAUGHTER: Oh father, I am so sad.

    MIDAS: No, my dear daughter I made a mistake. I am sorry.

    NARRATOR: And when he hugged her, she was turned into gold.

    MIDAS: No!.  This can´t be happening to me.  What have I done?.  My precious daughter is now a
    gold statue!.

    NARRATOR: Then horrified he went running looking for the god.

    MIDAS: Please, take back my wish!.  My daughter is worth more than gold!.

    GOD: I told you Midas.  I warned you, and now, I can´t undo the gift I granted you.  Go now to the
    river and get into the water.  But if when you come out of the water you are not free, then there`s
    nothing else I can do.

    NARRATOR: Midas ran to the river and got into the water.

     
    MIDAS: I have to stay here for a while.

    NARRATOR: Then, when he came out of the water he touched some tree branches.

    MIDAS: The tree branches are still green and fresh.  I am free!.

    NARRATOR: From that day, the King lived happy in a hut in the forest.

    MIDAS: I have learned that love is what makes a person rich, not gold.

     The End
