He wanted to eat some bread, but when he touched the bread, it turned to gold. But when he picked up a glass of water and tried to drink it, the water turned to gold. Soon, the King felt hungry, so he went to the kitchen to eat his breakfast.
Everything turned to shining, yellow gold. He ran around the room, touching everything he could see. As soon as he touched them, they both turned to solid gold. The King touched his bed lightly with his hand. He was eager to see if his wish had come true, and if everything he touched would turn to gold. The next day, the King woke up very early. But I will warn you: this gift will not make you happy.” The wizard said, “All right, starting tomorrow morning when you wake up, everything you touch will become gold. But gold is the best thing in the world! I want more! I wish that everything I touched would turn to gold.” The King said, “I know I have a lot of gold. The wizard said, “But you already have so much gold! You have more gold than any other king! The wizard said to the King, “I will give you one wish. One day, the King was in his room counting his money when a wizard appeared in the room. He had a lot of gold, but he always wanted more gold. He loved his gold more than anything else in all the world. He was the richest king in the world, and he had more gold than any other king in the world. And so it is that we have the seasons.Many years ago, there was a king named King Midas.
Hermes persuades Hades that Persephone should be allowed to return to her mother for six months of the year, and then to return to Hades and the underworld for the other six. Persephone is aware she must eat no food and intends only to drink the juice.but she swallows some of the pips. Hermes arrives in the underworld where Hades offers Persephone a pomegranate to eat. Zeus sends Hermes to bring Persephone back - and he must hurry, because if Persephone has eaten any food in the underworld she will have to stay there forever. When Demeter finds out what has happened she is inconsolable she curses the Earth and the plants begin to wither and die. Hades is entranced and takes Persephone down to his underground kingdom to become his bride. Hermes relates how one day she is out picking flowers when Hades, god of the underworld, comes to the upper world and sees her. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of the Earth and of the harvest. Hermes - who has winged boots and a winged helmet - then files down to the Earth, where he watches offerings being made to the goddess Demeter, and that becomes the springboard for his first story. Hermes begins with an introduction to himself and some of the other gods and goddesses of Ancient Greece - Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo - and their home on Mount Olympus.
