Midas was delighted as he touched everything and turned it to gold. Despite Dionysus’ best efforts to persuade him otherwise, Midas persisted that his wish was a good one, and it was granted! Midas asked for the transformation of everything he touched into gold as his wish. Midas, a king, once conducted a brilliant job for a Satyr and received a boon from Dionysus, the God of Wine. Moral of the story: Always be truthful, you never know what lies may lead to. That day, the small boy lost a lot of sheep due to his folly. The villagers assumed he was trying to trick them once more and did not come.

“Wolf! Wolf! Wolf!” he screamed as loudly as he could, yet not a single person came to his aid. On the third day, as the boy climbed the tiny hill, he came face to face with a wolf attacking his sheep. The villagers walked away enraged this time. The boy shouted out again the next day, “Wolf! Wolf!” and the villagers hurried over to chase the wolf away. The villagers went muttering under their breath about how the boy had wasted their time when they discovered there was no wolf. “Wolf! Wolf!” he yelled, and the entire village came storming with stones to chase the wolf away before it could eat any of the sheep. The boy, on the other hand, was dissatisfied and wanted to run and play. He had to take the sheep to the grassy fields every day. While the sheep grazed in the fields, the boy’s father instructed him to keep an eye on them.
