what a surprise! The wall actually turned into golden wall. King became very
happy and thought that ‐ Now no one can stop me to be a richest king on the
earth. Anything I touch, it will turn into gold ‐ The real gold!

touching them.
Well, in the evening his servant called him for dinner. At dining table, as soon as
he touches the food it turned into gold. Same thing happens to water too. King

him. Unfortunately, she also turned into golden statue.

never be greedy in his life.

be satisfied with whatever we have.
