The Text
Long ago, there lived a very rich man called Midas. Besides being rich, he was a king, and he had a little daughter called Marygold.
King Midas loved gold more than anything else in the world. He liked being a king, chiefly because he loved his golden crown. He loved his daughter dearly too, and the more he loved her, the more gold he wanted for her sake.
