I liked the character Zoe from the book. It interested me because it is a story of a king Yes, because it teaches a lesson - not to be greedy

It is a funny book, and I like that he made golden things. I don't think I would like not being able to eat though.

The plot in this story is about a king who had a daughter named Zoe.One day king Midas was walking in his rose gardens with Zoe when he saw a man sleeping in his garden of roses.King Midas helped him to get to his feet when he awoke so God Dionysus decided to grant him one wish and Midas wished a foolish wish and wished everything he touched will turn to gold.But when he relised he could no longer eat or drink and also turned Zoe to gold. When King Midas jumped into the river everything he touched that became gold turned back and his curse was undid.

It is a small story about King Midas and his foolishness. His greediness had taught him a lesson to think twice before you do anything. I would recommend this book as it is interesting to read.

King Midas has everything he could want, but he is always greedy for more gold$$$ when a god offers to grant him a wish, the kings' s greed for gold$$$ leads him to make a terrible decision.
