King Midas swears he could never tire of gold, and rapturously accepts a radiant being's gift of the “golden touch.” The King's' delight is fast fading, however, as he experiences the impracticality of EVERYTHING turning to gold. When his daughter runs to hug his frets away, the crowning blow is mortifying; Marygold has become a golden statue! Now he just wants everything back the way it was!

Sadly, Midas' habit of bad choices is not over yet. Next time his ears will pay the price.
