The Golden touch

The Golden touch

Once upon a time ,There was a king named Mohammed Hussain, who did a good deed for a Satyr. And he was then granted a wish by Dionysus, the god of wine.


For his wish, Hussain asked that whatever he touched would turn to gold. Despite Dionysus’ efforts to prevent it, Hussain pleaded that this was a fantastic wish, and so, it was bestowed.

Excited about his newly-earned powers, Hussain started touching all kinds of things, turning each item into pure gold.


But soon,. He became hungry. As he picked up a piece of food, he found he couldn’t eat it. It had turned to gold in his hand.


Hungry, Hussain groaned, “I’ll starve! Perhaps this was not such an excellent wish after all!”

Seeing his dismay, Hussain's beloved daughter named Shabana threw her arms around him to comfort him, and she, too, turned to gold. “The golden touch is no blessing,” Hussain cried.


The Moral?


Greed will always lead to downfall.
