A STORY A DAY : A GOLDEN TOUCH

A GOLDEN TOUCH




There was once a king who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold.
His wish was granted by the passing fairy, and he ran around his palace turning all his belongings into gold.
Vases, statutes, plates and even cushions were turned to gold as soon as he touched them.



“I will be so rich,” he thought.
Before long the king started to feel hungry.
“Bring me some food,” he ordered his servant.
But when the king picked up an apple, it turned to gold before it had even reached his lips.



The king began to feel very sad when his wife tried to comfort him with a hug, even she turned to gold.
“I never want to see gold again,” sobbed the king and he wished with all his heart for things to be back to normal again.



Luckily the fairy, who had been watching all along, took pity on him.
Everything changed back to the way it had been before.



The king had learned his lesson and he knew that there were many ordinary things more valuable than gold!
