The story is about King Midas, the richest man in the universe that era who loved to collect gold. Nothing could satisfy him most but gold, gold and gold. One day, a fairy came to visit the king and offerred him a golden touch but reminded him about the consequences he might faced later. King Midas was determined and would dare to undergo the risk.
The next morning, he woke up and touched his thing and got shocked to see all turned into gold. The fairy was true. He became excited and started to touch everything until he accidentially turned his daughter to gold. This is the climax of the story which led to King Midas’s realization of his greediness. The story ended with the losing of King Midas's magic touch but the return of his only precious, his daughter
Why I like the story?
Not many fables talk about parental value. This what make the story different. i found the gold is a symbol of wealth that lots of adults forward to have. It will relates to their parents’ situation in reality whereby they are so keen to seek for career and forget about the role as parents to their children. Very relevant in nowadays context.
Does the story suitable for the children?
The story is suitable especially the lesson portrays in the story. One should not be greedy. The character of daughter in the story would be very beneficial, to make them realize the importance of family and attention from parents.
The Element
Simple language is being used make it easy for readers to understand.
Portrayal of characters
Role of a father. As a King, he did react as a good father, but the fact that he is also human indulge him in the sin of greediness which at one point could destroy his eternal love, his daughter. In the end, that would be a strong reason for him to appreciate others more rather that GOLD!!
