One day��the old hero Silenus��Dionysus' former teacher��happened to straggle from the main body of the Dionysian army as it marched out of Thrace into Boeotia��and was found sleeping and drunken in the rose gardens.The gardeners tied him and ledhim before Midas��to whom he told wonderful tales of a big continent lying beyond the Ocean's stream ——altogether separatefrom the united mass of Europe��Asia��or Africa——where gigantic��happy��and longlived people lived in splendid cities��enjoying a wonderful law system.Midas��delighted with Silenus' fictions��entertained him for five days and nights��and then ordered a guide to lead him to Dionysus' headquarters. Dionysus��who had been worrying about Silenus��sent toask how Midas wished to be rewarded.He replied without hesitation��‘Please turn all I touch into gold.' However��not onlystones��flowers��and the furnishings of his house turned to gold but��when he sat down to table��so did the food he ate and the water he drank .Midas soon begged to be freed from his wish��because he was fast dying of hunger and thirst.Highlyamused ��Dionysus told him to visit the source of the river Pactolus and there wash himself.He obeyed��and was at oncefreed from the golden touch��but the sands of the river Pactolusare bright with gold to this day. �ִ�˹��ɽ��Ů���һλ�Ӣ�۵Ķ��ӡ�ٲֶ��ĺ�Ѱ�ֵĹ���ͳ�βֲ���ǵ�õ�廨�� һ�죬�Ҷ�˹�׷���ߴ�ɫ��˹ȥά�µ��ǡ��Ҷ�˹��ǰʦɭ��֮ŵ˹���ɸ���ɢ�ˡȵģ��ִ�˹�Ļ�԰�ﺨȻ��˯��԰ȥ���ִ�˹���ִ�˹�йش���ӱ˰��ġ���һƬ��ŷ�ް͡���ϸ�ǻ򰢷���ȫ�һ�޵�Ĺ��¡�ij��У���סĸߴ��Ҹ��ٵ�ӵ��ֵ�̵ķƶȡ�ŵ˹�Ĺ���ʹ�ִ�˹��ϲ�ʢ��ɽҹ��Ȼ�򵼻��ص��Ҷ�˹�Ĵ�Ӫ�� �Ҷ�˹һֱ��Ϊŵ˹���ġڣ��ִ�˹��ʲôҪӦ���ִ�˹���ɵػش�˵��“���׼ʹһ�ж���ɽ��ӡ�”Ȼ��ɽ��ӵIJ���ʯ�顢ڵij��衣�³Է�ʱ�Ե�ʳ��ͺȵ�ˮҲɽ��ӡ˲��ã��ִ�˹Ҷ�˹ʹԸ���н��ѿ���Ϊ�ʽ��ӣ��ˡ��Ҷ�˹��Ū�ִ�˹�ĵúܡ��ִ�˹ǰ��˹�ӵ�Դͷ���ں���ϴ���衣�ִ�˹���£�˵˹�ӵ�ɳ���򺬽�⡣
