0:00:21 > 0:00:22- I like that!
0:00:32 > 0:00:34- 888
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- This story is called...
0:00:46 > 0:00:47- This story is called...- - ..King Midas.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52- Once upon a time - in a country called Greece...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56- ..there lived a king called Midas.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- He had a great life.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04- The only problem was he was greedy.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- # This king showed signs of greed
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- # He was greedy, yes indeed
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- # He was a king, that much is true
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- # He wanted it all, - a bit wouldn't do
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- # The king thought he was cool. - Truth be told, he was a fool #
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- One day, - an old man came to the palace...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- ..to ask the king for help - and a bite to eat.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- King Midas was in his high tower...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- ..and he watched the old man - approach the palace.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- This was an important old man.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- He was a friend of the gods.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- Ooh! A friend of the gods!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- The old man was called Silenus.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08- Midas rushed downstairs to welcome - the old man to his palace.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- # Midas knew, as he was very sly
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- # By being kind - the gods he would satisfy
0:02:21 > 0:02:24- # Midas welcomed the old man, - yes indeed
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- # He hoped he'd gain favour - for being a friend in need #
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Midas pretended to be kind - to Silenus, friend of the gods...
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- ..by welcoming him to his home.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- # Come on in, oh friend so dear
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- # You can have anything here
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- # I welcome you with open arms
0:02:47 > 0:02:52- # Beware the false Midas charms
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- # He was made welcome - from the word go
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- # But little did the old man know
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- # That Midas was sly and bold
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- # All he wanted was some gold
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- # Midas, Midas, a sly king
0:03:09 > 0:03:11- # Thought he could win
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- # Anything and everything
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- # A sly king, a sly king
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- # Midas, Midas, a sly king
0:03:20 > 0:03:21- # Thought he could win
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- # Anything and everything
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- # A sly king, a sly king #
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Yes, King Midas was very sly.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39- He was right, too.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45- When the god Dionysus saw - Midas's kindness towards Silenus...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- ..he offered Midas one wish.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- # One wish, no more no less
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- # What was it? Let's guess
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- # What wish did Midas pick?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- # We'll find out in a tick #
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- King Midas - could wish for absolutely anything.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- He loved gold - but he already had plenty of it.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20- This was his wish.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- He wished for everything he touched - to turn to gold.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29- # Midas made up his mind
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- # His wish was clear and bold
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- # Everything he touched
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- # Would then turn to gold
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- # Dionysus was disappointed - and so he decided
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- # To test silly King Midas
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- # And he did so in a flash #
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Amazing!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- Oh, it was a little bird!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- King Midas was delighted.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Everything he touched - turned to gold.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- The palace walls.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21- The walls?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- The doors.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Wow!
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- The floors.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- The bed linen.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- Even the flowers.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41- He now had - an incredible amount of gold.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- The king was hungry.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- He ordered his servants - to bring some food for him.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- Be careful!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Look out!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- That was close!
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- The only problem was everything - the king touched turned to gold.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- The king - tried to eat very quickly...
0:06:20 > 0:06:21- ..but it didn't help.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- # Things are going terribly wrong - and your friends have all gone
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- # People keep away pretty much - because they all fear your touch #
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- King Midas - now realised what he'd done.
0:06:42 > 0:06:48- # No, that's not the story's end. - Midas was sad and without a friend #
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Oh, no!
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- When Dionysus saw how sad and sorry - King Midas was...
0:06:59 > 0:07:04- ..he realised the king - really had learned his lesson.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- King Midas, you were too greedy.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- I think you've learned your lesson.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Everything you touch - will no longer turn to gold.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- You have lost that power.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- If you want everything to go - back to normal, pour water over it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- King Midas thanked Dionysus...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- ..and he apologised - for being so greedy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- He then poured water over the gold.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- That's better!
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Pour all the water.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- Thank goodness for that!
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Hooray!
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- # Midas saw he'd been a fool
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- # Kindness is far more cool
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- # A good king he became indeed
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- # From then on, - he said no to greed #
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Midas had learned his lesson.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- He now realised - that friends and family...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- ..are far more important than gold.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- We hope you enjoyed our story - about King Midas.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32- The end.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- # We hope you enjoyed our story
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- # It almost ended very badly
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- # Midas listened to what he was told
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- # All that glitters isn't gold
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- # Oh, no? How so?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- # He learned his lesson, now we sing
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- # He realised gold isn't everything
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- # There's more to life than gold, - he did confess
0:09:12 > 0:09:17- # Family and friends are precious, - they are priceless
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- # Have no fear, it's clear
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- # They are priceless #
0:09:26 > 0:09:27- Hooray!
0:09:27 > 0:09:27- .
