Midas and the Golden Touch

Midas was the king of Phyrgia, he had everything a king could hope for. Even though he was super rich, Midas found his greatess happiness from gold. Dionyssus told Midas he would grant him one wish because Midas was kind to one of Dionyssus' satyrs. Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. At first Midas thought "This is such a bless," then he realized "Oh crap I can't eat gold I'm screwed." Then he even turned his daughter to gold, they said it was unintentional but who knows. Midas prayed to Dionyssus to lift this curse and he did. Then Midas became more grateful for everything, yada yada yada. Moral of the story is don't wish everything you touch is gold because then you'll starve to death and die if you can't get it reversed.
