King Midas

From the Ancient Greece Mythology

King Midas was a very kind man who ruled his kingdom fairly. But he didn't always think very deeply about what he said. One day, while walking in his garden, he saw an elderly satyr asleep among the flowers. Taking pity on him, King Midas let him go without punishment. When the god Dionysus heard about it, he rewarded King Midas by granting him one wish. The king thought for only a second and then said: "I wish for everything I touch to turn to gold." And so it was.

The beautiful flowers in his garden turned toward the sun for light, but when Midas touched them, they stood hard and gold. The king grew hungry and thin, because each time he tried to eat, he found that his meal was gold. His lovely daughter, at his loving touch, turned to gold. His water, his bed, his clothes, his friends, and the whole palace was gold.

King Midas saw that soon his whole kingdom would turn to gold unless he did something right away. He asked Dionysus to take back his golden touch. Because the king was ashamed and very sad, Dionysus took pity on him and fulfilled his request. Instantly, King Midas was poorer, but richer, he felt, in the things that really count.

1. Midas was a good king for his country.

2. King Midas followed the rule: First think, then do!

Царь Мидас

из мифологии Древней Греции

Царь Мидас был очень добрым человеком и справедливо управлял своим королевством. Но он не всегда глубоко задумывался над тем, что говорил. Однажды, прогуливаясь по саду, он увидел пожилого сатира, спящего среди цветов. Сжалившись над ним, царь Мидас отпустил его без наказания. Когда бог Дионис услышал об этом, он наградил царя Мидаса, исполнив его одно желание. Король подумал всего секунду, а затем сказал: «Я хочу, чтобы все, к чему я прикасаюсь, превратилось в золото». Так оно и было.

Прекрасные цветы в его саду обратились к солнцу в поисках света, но когда Мидас коснулся их, они стали твердыми и золотыми. Король проголодался и похудел, потому что каждый раз, когда он пытался есть, он обнаруживал, что его еда была золотой. Его любимая дочь от его любящего прикосновения превратилась в золотою. Его вода, его постель, его одежда, его друзья и весь дворец были золотыми.

Царь Мидас увидел, что скоро все его королевство превратится в золото, если он не предпримет что-нибудь прямо сейчас. Он попросил Диониса вернуть себе его способность превращать все в золото. Поскольку царю было стыдно и очень грустно, Дионис сжалился над ним и выполнил его просьбу. Внезапно царь Мидас стал беднее, но, как он чувствовал, богаче в вещах, которые действительно имеют значение.
