BR 2-09: King Midas and the Gold

“ “ I wish I could touch things and turn them to gold.”” ( p.11).

King Midas was very rich and kind. One day, he met an old man who was lost his house. Midas helped the man to find his house. His son was a god, so his son gave Midas a wish. Midas said ” I love gold. I wish I could touch things and turn them to gold.” The things which he touched became gold, stick, palace even his dinner. He wanted to stop this. If he go to a secret river in the hill, it can make it stop. So, he went to there.

This story is a full account of mad for money I think. If there is no money in this world, I think this world is happy place. This story wants to tell us this thing I think. All the time, we have to earn the money for our life. Walt Disney said “ It takes a lot of money to make these dreams come true.” Definitely,  I agree with this opinion. Money is important, but we never become greedy.
