Answer:
Lesson: Don't be greedy, be grateful for what you have.
King Midas is a relevant story for a modern world, because everyone is selfish, and doesn't care about other people. If you ever get to wish something, do not wish for a golden touch. Instead, you could wish for a pet elephant, or world peace. Modernly, people would wish for unlimited money, and new cars, and etc... One should never be greedy in life because the wish of being greedy does not give fruitful returns in the future. In return for a good deed, he was granted one wish by the god Dionysus, and asked for the power to turn everything he touched into gold. When "Midas touch" is used today, the moral of this tale of greed is usually ignored.

Answer:
1. Sunny yet dusty, the traveler finally arrived at her destination. -- misplaced modifier
2. The raccoon could not decides whether to cross the highway that night. -- subject-verb disagreement
3 The policemen hauled the escaped prisoner off to jail and fingerprint him before putting him in a cell. -- incorrect verb tense
4. The electric eel emitted his electric charge and they dived to the ocean's depths. -- pronoun antecedent disagreement
Explanation:
1. "Sunny yet dusty" is a misplaced modifier. Modifiers usually stand close to the noun they refer to. In this case, it would not make sense for the word "sunny" to refer to "traveler" in this context. That means this modifier refers to "destination", but is too far away from it in the structure.
2. "The raccoon decides" would be alright, but we have "could not" right after the subject. In this case, "decides" should not be conjugated. The right form would be "The raccoon could not decide."
3. The whole sentence talks about actions that took place in the past. However, the verb "fingerprint" is not conjugated in its past form, which makes it inconsistent with the rest of the sentence.
4. The electric eel is an animal. The best pronoun to use to refer to an eel would be "it". Let's suppose this is a fable or some other type of story that refers to animals as "he" or "she". That would make "his" acceptable, but we would still have a problem with the "they" afterwards. Who are they? The sentence only mentions the eel.
