BR 1-14: King Midas and the Gold

This book is about a real king. The king's name is Midas. He was very rich, and he was not only very rich bit also very kind. He helped people around him. One day, an old man wanted him to help. An old man looked for his son. His son was god. God granted Midas' request because Midas helped his father. Midas loved gold, so his request was gold. And touching his cane, the cane turned to gold. He was pleased with this thing. But, it happened accident. Having dinner, he took foods. And, the foods turned to gold. He couldn't eat them. And, it was not only foods but also people. He asked to god how it can stop. God said there is secret river at long distance. The secret river has power of canceling this ability. Midas went to the secret river. Reaching there, Midas were into this river. After that, Midas' ability lost.

Reading this book, I think this story is very fantastic. Midas is great person. I think rich persons almost use a lot of money for themselves only. But, Midas is rich and kind. So, I think  he was liked by people around him. He doesn't have any senses of superiority. He likes gold, and I like gold,too. Because it is expensive. Not only me but also other people may like gold, I think. I have a question about story. It is an old man. An old man is god's father. Does god have family? Is god succeeded to ancestor? This book is short story, but it is very interesting. This book has puzzles and finding difference. These questions are about this story. It is very easy and interesting. English words which written in this book are very easy and kind. So, it is very easy to read. Persons be weak of reading English are also able to read this book easily, I think.
