“Once upon a time, there lived a very rich man, and a king besides, whose name was Midas”

“This King Midas was fonder of gold than of anything else in the world.”

“And yet, in his earlier days, before he was so entirely possessed of this insane desire for riches, King Midas had shown a great taste for flowers.”

“Though he once was fond of music, the only music for poor Midas, now, was the chink of one coin against another.”

“This King Midas was fonder of gold than of anything else in the world.”
