The Golden Touch (Part 2)

-

 


The King noticed that the old man was still there looking at him. At the outset, King Midas felt afraid of him because of the man’s weird glance. The King spoke to himself, “Well, I will fear no more. I will go forward.”

Thus, after speaking to himself for a short while, the King went under the shade of that large tree. The old man stood up after viewing the King. Indeed, the old man was none other than the Greek god Dionysus himself. The King was unaware of the fact.

Then that man told the King, “Could you please give me shelter for a few days? I have lost my way, Your Highness!”

“I beg your pardon. But how did you know that I am the King?”

“Oh! I found you in royal robes and became certain that you are none other than the King. Did my hair become grey without any reason?” said the old man.

After exchanging a few more words with each other, King Midas agreed to give him shelter.

The old man replied, “Your Majesty, I thank you endlessly.”

Thus, King Midas welcomed the old man to the royal palace. Moreover, the royal family, the minister and the subjects took care of the man. The old man was taken care for about ten days.

After the King had gone away, the miller’s daughter felt so shocked and puzzled that she kept weeping in a corner of the room. Four hours passed. Then, all of a sudden, the door miraculously got opened. Right then, a dwarf stepped in. The dwarf asked her, “What’s wrong? Why do you weep, buddy?” Then the miller’s daughter answered with sobs, “My father has promised the King that I would spin all the straw into gold. Therefore, the King has given me all these to spin into gold.” The dwarf replied, “Well, I can do this task for you. But what will you give me instead?” The girl could hardly believe her ears. Then the dwarf said once again, “Yes, you heard me right. But what will you give me for my work?” “I will give you my necklace instead,” she answered. Thus, the dwarf sat down to spin gold out of the straw. After his work had been over, he sneaked away. The next morning, the King opened the door with a bit of anxiety. Immediately, he found the straw turned into gold.

My little friends, Today, I would like to share one of my sources of delight of my childhood days with you all. I hope that you won’t be disappointed with me while reading this letter. So, let me have a talk with you for a few moments, please! When I was a little kid, I was literally crazy about ice creams. Well, I must confess that such a divine taste never left me alone. Yes, I like them even now. Well, who doesn’t like ice creams? Out of all the flavors, I was fond of butterscotch the most. Well, it is funny to note that I love that same flavor the most still today. I can’t stay away from them. So, what’s your favorite flavor? Is it strawberry? Is it salted caramel? Is it chocolate? Or is it something else? Would you mind sharing that with me? It feels like there can be no end to our exchange of words. I believe that my words do try to touch all your little hearts. Yes, you may be little, but remember, you are no less than an elder in the case of your talent, in the case of yo
