King Midas is visited by an elf; the elf transforms his cat to gold, after that claps his hands as well as it transforms back. Midas begs for the gold touch, yet the elf warns him it would certainly be a curse to him. Midas firmly insists. He dances about joyfully initially, yet uncovers the downsides when he sits down to dinner. Fearing fatality by starvation, he summons the fairy as well as agrees to give up everything he possesses to have actually menstruation raised.
