Omschrijving

The Golden Touch is a classic fairy tale written by Nathaniel Hawthorne. The story follows the life of King Midas, who is granted the power to turn everything he touches into gold by the Greek god Dionysus. Initially, King Midas is thrilled with his newfound power and uses it to amass great wealth. However, he soon realizes that his gift is a curse as he cannot even touch his loved ones without turning them into gold. Desperate to undo his mistake, he seeks the help of Dionysus, who advises him to wash his hands in a river. King Midas follows the advice and is relieved to find that he has regained his normal touch. The story ends with King Midas learning the valuable lesson that wealth and power are not everything in life and that there are more important things such as love, family, and happiness. The Golden Touch is a timeless tale that teaches readers about the dangers of greed and the importance of appreciating the simple things in life.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: A Wonder-Book for Boys and Girls, by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
