1. The Midas Touch

In ancient Greek, there was a king named Midas. He had a lot of gold and everything he
needed. He also had a beautiful daughter. Midas loved his gold very much, but he loved his
daughter more than his riches.

One day, a satyr named Silenus got drunk and passed out in Midas’ rose garden. Believing
that Satyrs always bring good luck, Midas lets Silenus rest in his palace until he is sober, against
the wishes of his wife and daughter. Silenus is a friend of Dionysus, the god of wine and
celebration. Upon learning Midas’ kindness towards his friend, Dionysus decides to reward the
king.
When asked to wish for something, Midas says “I wish everything I touch turns to gold”.
Although Dionysus knew it was not a great idea, he granted Midas his wish.

Happy that his wish was granted, Midas went around touching random things in the garden
and his palace and turned them all into gold. He touched an apple, and it turned into a shiny
gold apple. His subjects were astonished but happy to see so much gold in the palace.

In his happiness, Midas went and hugged his daughter, and before he realized, he turned
her into a lifeless, golden statue! Aghast, Midas ran back to the garden and called for Dionysus.
He begged the god to take away his power and save his daughter. Dionysus gives Midas a
solution to change everything back to how it was before the wish. Midas learned his lesson and
lived the rest of his life contended with what he had.

2. The King and Macaw Parrot

Once upon a time, there was a king who had gone to visit neighboring kingdoms. He was
gifted a pair of baby Macaw Parrots by the king of the last kingdom where he was visiting. They
were the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. So, upon returning to his kingdom, he called
for a bird trainer and asked him to train macaw parrots.

The king also arranged a place in the palace garden for the parrots. He often looked at them
from his palace window. As time passed, one day the trainer came to the palace and informed
the king that though one of the parrots was flying majestically high in the sky, the other one
was not moving from its branch since the day it had arrived.

Upon hearing this, the king summoned trainer and healers from the nearby kingdoms. They
all tried their best, but couldn’t make the parrot fly! He even asked his courtiers to try to find a
way to make the parrot fly but they all failed. The parrot was not moving from his branch at all.
Finally, after trying everything, the king thought that maybe he needs someone who may be
more familiar with natural habitat. He asked his courtier to get a farmer from the countryside
and take him to the parrot to see if he can understand the problem with the parrot.

The next morning, the king was thrilled to see the parrot flying high above the palace
gardens. He asked his servant to call that farmer to meet him. The servant quickly went and
located the farmer, who came and stood before the king. The king asked him, “How did you
make the parrot fly?”

With his hands folded with respect, the farmer said to the king, “It was very easy, your
majesty. I simply cut the branch where the bird was sitting.”
