Quote from King Midas
King Midas: The Golden Touch
by Demi
Margaret K. McElderry Books, New York, New York © 2002 48 pp.
Long ago the ancient Greeks
believed their gods were in the sky
and the winds, the seas and the
mountains--in everything.
The people prayed to the gods
for wisdom and power,
knowledge and generosity,
and moderation in all
their ways.
There reigned in Phrygia a king named Midas.
He was weak and ignorant, miserly and greedy. And
he didn't think he needed to pray to the gods at all.
Everything King Midas did was backward.
