His name was Midas. King Midas -loved gold better than anything else in the world. There was nothing he -loved half so well except his little daughter, Marygold. He thought, -foolish man, that the way to show this love, was to get for her as much -gold as he could. - -Down deep under his castle, was a small, dark room. In this room King -Midas kept his gold. Every day he went there to look at it. - -He was always careful to lock the door, so that no one could follow him. -This room was a very dreary place. Only one little sunbeam ever thought -of peeping into it. King Midas loved this little sunbeam, because his -gold could not shine without it. - -He used to put his treasure right where the little ray would fall upon -it. Then he would play with the pieces of gold, throwing them up and -catching them again. He had a large bowl of solid gold. It was so bright -that he could see himself in it. He would sit for hours and look at his -face in this rich mirror. Sometimes the face seemed to be making fun of -him. Then he would lay it aside. - -Next, he would bring out his bags of gold dust and let the dust run -through his fingers, as a child plays with sand. He often said to -himself: - -“Oh, I wish I had the whole world for my treasure-room, and full of gold -all my own; then I could be happy.” - -One day while he was looking at his gold, he thought the sunbeam grew -larger. It seemed to fill the whole room. The rays danced in the corners -like fairies. King Midas looked up. There stood a beautiful young man -near the door. His face was so bright that the king shaded his eyes with -his hands as he looked. - -“You are a very rich man, friend Midas. With all this gold you ought to -be the happiest man in the world.” - -“Yes,” said Midas, “I have done very well; but it has taken almost a -lifetime to get this. Now, if I could live a thousand years, I might get -rich!” - -“Why, haven’t you enough yet?” asked the young man, opening his eyes -very wide. - -“No,” said Midas. - -“Well,” said the stranger, “I should like to know what would satisfy -you. Will you be kind enough to tell me?” - -The king thought for a time and then said: - -“If I could have my way, everything I touch would turn to gold.” - -“Are you quite sure this would satisfy you?” asked the young man. - -“Sure of it?” cried Midas. “Why shouldn’t it satisfy me?” - -“And are you sure you would never be sorry you made such a wish?” said -the stranger. - -“How could I be sorry? I tell you I should be the happiest man in the -world.” - -“Very well,” said the stranger, “to-morrow, at sunrise, you will have -the Golden Touch.” - -[Illustration: - - “IN THIS ROOM KING MIDAS KEPT HIS GOLD” -] - -When King Midas awoke the next morning a little sunbeam shone on his -bed. He put out his hand and touched the coverlet. It was changed to -gold. With a cry of joy he sprang from his bed. - -“Hurrah! I have the Golden Touch,” he cried. - -He ran about touching everything in the room. Of course they all turned -to gold. Then he dressed himself and was delighted to find that his -clothes had become beautiful garments of gold. He put on his spectacles, -but could not see through them. Taking them off and rubbing them he saw -that the glass had become plates of gold. - -As he went down stairs, he put his hand on the railing. It turned to -gold. - -He opened the door and went into the garden. The roses were nodding in -the fresh morning breeze; the air was filled with their sweet perfume. -But King Midas did not care for this. What do you think he did? Why, he -changed everyone of those roses into hard, shining gold. The dew drops -became diamonds. - -Then he went back to the house. Breakfast was ready. Marygold had not -yet come in, so he had her called. She always had bread and milk for her -breakfast. She ate it out of a beautiful china bowl. This bowl had -strange trees and houses painted upon it. While the father waited for -her, he thought he would change her bowl to gold. - -“That will please her,” thought he. - -Just then he heard her coming. The door opened and she came in. She had -her apron to her eyes and was crying as if her heart would break. - -“Why, what is the matter my dear child?” asked the king. - -“Oh, my beautiful roses! They are all ugly and yellow,” cried she. “When -I try to smell them, their hard petals prick my nose.” - -“Well, dear, don’t cry about it. Sit down and eat your bread and milk.” - -They both sat down to the table. He thought she would forget about the -roses, when she saw her golden bowl; but she was too sad to notice it. -Perhaps it was best that she did not, for she had always been so fond of -looking at the pictures upon it. These faded as soon as the bowl was -changed to gold. - -His walk in the garden had given the king a good appetite. His breakfast -of baked potatoes, fish, hot cakes and coffee looked very good indeed. - -“Well, this is nice,” he said, as he poured out a cup of coffee. He -smiled when he saw the coffee pot turn to gold. - -“I shall soon have nothing but gold on my table,” thought he, and began -to wonder where he could keep his treasure. - -He raised the cup of coffee to his lips. That, too, turned to gold. Of -course he could not drink it. He set the cup down quickly. Marygold -looked up and asked, - -“What is the matter, father?” - -“Nothing, child, nothing,” said the king. - -He thought he would try one of the fish. As soon as he touched it, it -became hard and bright. Then he broke one of the cakes. It became yellow -and heavy. - -“I don’t quite see how I am to get any breakfast,” thought the king. - -He looked at Marygold. She was quietly eating her bread and milk. How he -longed to have just one bite! What good would all this gold do him, if -he could not eat anything? - -The potatoes looked so tempting that he thought he would try again. - -“Perhaps I can swallow so quickly, that a potato will not have time to -turn to gold,” thought he. - -Poor foolish Midas! He popped one into his mouth, but it changed as soon -as he touched it. The hot gold burned him so that he jumped up and cried -out with pain. - -“Why, what is the matter, dear father?” cried Marygold. “Have you burned -yourself?” - -“Oh, my child,” said the king, “I don’t know what is to become of your -poor father!” - -Marygold got down from her chair and ran to him. By this time Midas -hated the very sight of gold. He felt that Marygold was all he had to -love now. He took her in his arms and kissed her. - -Oh, unhappy Midas! Marygold, too, had become hard, shining gold. There -were the tears still on her cheeks; they were little lumps of gold now. -Everything was the same, even the pretty dimple in her chin. - -Poor Midas! His heart was almost broken. He threw himself upon the floor -and tried to pray. The words would not come. - -All at once the room grew very bright. Midas raised his head. There -stood the stranger who had given him the Golden Touch. His face was sad, -yet Midas thought he saw a smile there, too, as he said: - -“Well, friend Midas, how do you like the Golden Touch?” - -“Hush!” cried the king. “I hate the very name of gold!” - -“Why, how is this?” asked the stranger. “Have you not enough yet?” - -“Enough!” cried the king. “Too much! I wish I might never see gold -again. Gold is not everything. See,” said he, pointing to Marygold. “I -would give all the gold in the world, just to see her smile again.” - -“You are sure you have had enough of the Golden Touch?” asked the -stranger. - -Midas’ look showed that he thought the question a very foolish one. - -“Take a vase,” said the young man, “and go to the river that runs by -your garden; jump head first into the river and fill the vase with the -water; then put a few drops of it on anything you have changed to gold. -It will become as it was before,” and the stranger was gone. - -You may be sure the king lost no time. He took a vase, and running to -the river, jumped in. As soon as he touched the water his heart seemed -to grow light. He was glad to see the vase become china again. - -He filled it and went quickly to the house. The first thing he did was -to sprinkle a little water over Marygold. As soon as it touched her, her -cheeks became pink and her blue eyes opened wide. - -“Why are you throwing water on me, father?” she cried. “You will soil my -pretty dress.” - -The king said nothing. He did not want her to know how foolish he had -been. He took her in his arms and kissed her many times. - -While she went to put on another dress, he took the vase into the garden -and put a few drops of water on each flower. When Marygold came out she -was delighted to see them bowing to her as if nothing had been wrong. - -The king did not stop until he had put water on everything he had turned -to gold. Then he remembered that he was very hungry. Never had he eaten -anything half so good as that breakfast. He was a happy man now. - -Two things were left to remind him of the Golden Touch. The sand in the -river sparkled like gold, and Marygold’s hair, which had once been -brown, now had a tinge of gold. As this made her more beautiful, Midas -was not sorry. He used to say it was the only gold he cared for now. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - LITTLE DAFFYDOWNDILLY. - - -There was once a little boy whose name was Daffydowndilly. Isn’t that a -pretty name? Well, Daffydowndilly was a very pretty little boy. He had -bright blue eyes and his cheeks were like roses, while his hair made one -think of spun gold. - -You think his name sounds like the name of a flower? So it does. That is -why it was such a good name for this little boy. He looked like a bright -flower. He often played in the meadows all day long. He liked to do only -what was easy and pleasant. - -Daffydowndilly’s mother was very kind to him. Her sweet face always wore -a smile for the little boy. Indeed, I do not think he knew what a frown -was. - -But Daffydowndilly could not always play. Like all little boys, he was -soon old enough to go to school, and then was sent away from his -pleasant home to a school so many miles away, that he had to stay there -all the time. The schoolmaster’s name was Mr. Toil. - -Daffydowndilly had never before seen a face like Mr. Toil’s. There were -such deep lines in it. How he frowned on the lazy boys! How harsh his -voice was when he spoke to them! - -Daffydowndilly had been at school but a week when he said to himself, “I -don’t like to go to school. I’m afraid of Mr. Toil. I don’t like to -work. I want to play. I’ll run away.” - -So the very next morning, Daffydowndilly ran away. He had some bread and -cheese for his breakfast and a little money in his pocket. - -How glad he was to get away from school! He felt like a bird out of its -cage. - -He had not gone far when he overtook a man who, also, was walking. - -“Good morning, my boy,” said the stranger. “Where are you going so -early?” - -Now, Daffydowndilly had never told a falsehood in his life and would not -tell one now. After looking at the stranger for a moment he said, - -“I am running away from school because I do not like the master. His -name is Mr. Toil, and oh, he is so cross! I want to go where I shall -never hear of him again.” - -[Illustration: - - “I AM RUNNING AWAY FROM SCHOOL BECAUSE I DO NOT LIKE THE MASTER,” HE - SAID -] - -“Oh, very well, my little friend,” said the stranger. “We will go -together. I, too, know Mr. Toil, and should like to find a place where -he has never been heard of.” - -This did not quite please Daffydowndilly. He would like a little boy for -his companion much better. Then they could stop and gather flowers or -chase butterflies. That would be so pleasant. But he thought, - -“This man will know better which way to go. He will take care of me and -keep me from harm.” - -So he trudged along with the stranger. They had not gone far, when they -came to a field where men were at work, cutting the tall grass. Then -they spread it out in the sun to dry. - -Daffydowndilly was delighted with the sweet smell of the new-mown grass. -The sun shown down on the field. The birds sang in the trees near by. - -“Oh, how beautiful!” cried he. “Let us stop and watch them. I wish I -might stay here always. How much nicer it is here, than in that old -school room.” - -Just then he saw something that made him start back and catch his -companion’s hand. - -“Quick, quick!” cried he. “Let us run away or he will catch us!” - -“Who will catch us?” asked the stranger. - -“Mr. Toil, the old schoolmaster,” answered Daffydowndilly. “Don’t you -see him in the field there?” - -He pointed to an old man who seemed to be the owner of the field. He had -taken off his coat and was working in his shirt sleeves. He did not rest -a moment. All the time he kept saying, - -“Make hay while the sun shines, my men.” - -Sure enough, he did look just like Mr. Toil. His voice, too, was the -same, yet Mr. Toil must have been in the school room at that time. - -“Don’t be afraid,” said the stranger. “This is not Mr. Toil, the -schoolmaster. It is one of his brothers. He is a farmer. People say he -is worse than the schoolmaster. But he won’t trouble you, unless you go -to work on his farm.” - -Daffydowndilly believed this, yet was glad to get away. By-and-by they -saw some carpenters building a house. Daffydowndilly wanted to stop -again. He loved to watch the men making doors and putting in windows. -How neatly they did their work. - -It was a pretty sight to see the shavings roll from under the plane. -They looked like ribbons. - -“How nice it would be to have a saw, a hammer, and a plane, and build a -little house for myself,” thought he. - -While he was thinking what fine fun this would be, he saw something -which made him cry out, - -“Make haste. Quick, quick! There he is again!” - -“Who?” asked the stranger. - -“Old Mr. Toil,” said Daffydowndilly. “There! Don’t you see him among the -carpenters? That’s my old schoolmaster, as sure as I live!” - -The stranger looked where he pointed. He saw an old man with a -carpenter’s rule in his hand. He was marking out the work to be done. -All the time he was telling the men to work hard. And they sawed and -hammered and planed as if for their lives. - -“Oh, no!” said the stranger, “this is not Mr. Toil, the schoolmaster. It -is another brother of his. He is a carpenter.” - -“I’m very glad to hear it,” said Daffydowndilly. “But I’d like to get -out of his way as soon as I can.” - -So on they went. Soon they heard the sound of a drum and fife. -Daffydowndilly knew there must be soldiers coming. - -“Let us make haste,” said he, “I want to see the soldiers.” - -They walked as fast as they could, and soon met a company of soldiers. -They were gayly dressed, with beautiful feathers in their caps and -carried bright guns on their shoulders. - -In front marched two drummers and fifers. How they beat their drums and -played their fifes! What lively music they made! Daffydowndilly thought -he would like to follow them to the end of the world. - -“If I were a soldier,” he thought, “Mr. Toil would never dare to look me -in the face.” - -“Quick step! Forward march!” shouted a gruff voice. - -Daffydowndilly started to run. - -“There he is again,” he cried. “I know his voice.” - -Daffydowndilly pointed to the captain. He was, indeed, the very image of -Mr. Toil. To be sure he wore a cap and feather, and carried a sword -instead of a stick. But Daffydowndilly was sure it was his old -schoolmaster. - -“You are mistaken again, my little friend,” said the stranger. “This is -not Mr. Toil, the schoolmaster, but another brother of his. He is a -soldier and has been in the army all his life. You and I need not fear -him.” - -“Well,” said Daffydowndilly, “I’m glad to hear it; but, if you please -sir, I don’t want to see the soldiers any more.” - -On they went and, by-and-by, came to a house by the roadside. They could -hear the sound of a fiddle within and, through the open doorway could -see boys and girls dancing. They were having a merry time. -Daffydowndilly thought he had never seen anything half so pretty. - -“Oh, let us stop here,” he said. “Mr. Toil would never dare show his -face where there is music and dancing. We shall be safe enough here.” - -Just then he looked at the fiddler. Whom should he see again but old Mr. -Toil. He had a violin bow instead of a stick, but looked exactly like -the old schoolmaster. - -“Oh, dear me!” said Daffydowndilly, turning pale. “Is there nobody but -Mr. Toil in the whole world! Who would have thought he could play a -fiddle!” - -“This is not your old schoolmaster,” said the stranger. “This is another -brother of his. He calls himself Mr. Pleasure, but his real name is -Toil. Those who know him best, say he is worse than any of his -brothers.” - -“Let us go a little farther,” said Daffydowndilly. “I don’t like the -looks of this fiddler at all.” - -So they went on through shady lanes and pleasant villages. Everywhere -the sky was blue, the sun shone, and the birds sang. But go where they -would, there was the image of old Mr. Toil. Whether they stopped at a -cottage or a mansion, it was all the same. Sometimes they found him in -the parlor, very often in the kitchen. He was sure to be there -somewhere. - -Daffydowndilly was very tired, and seeing some men lying in a shady -place by the roadside, he cried, - -“Oh, let us sit down and rest. Mr. Toil will never come here. He hates -to see people resting.” - -Just then he looked at one of the men. He seemed to be the laziest of -all. Who should it be again, but the very image of old Mr. Toil. - -“There is a very large family of these Toils,” said the stranger. “This -is another one of the schoolmaster’s brothers. He is a very idle fellow -and does nothing but have, what he calls, a good time, but I think he -has a harder time than any of the others.” - -Daffydowndilly began to cry. - -“Oh, take me back! Take me back!” said he. “If there is nothing but toil -in the world, I may as well go back to the school house!” - -“Well, there it is,” said the stranger. And, sure enough, there it was. - -You see they had been going in a circle, instead of a straight line. - -“Come, we will go back to school together.” - -Something in the stranger’s voice made Daffydowndilly look at him. -There, again, was the face of old Mr. Toil! So the poor boy had been -with him all day, even while he was trying so hard to get away from him. - -When he came to know the schoolmaster better, he found that he was not -so bad, after all. And when he learned his lessons well, the old -schoolmaster’s smile was almost as pleasant as was that of his own -mother. - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - - - - ● Transcriber’s Notes: - ○ Missing or obscured punctuation was silently corrected. - ○ Typographical errors were silently corrected. - ○ Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation were made consistent only - when a predominant form was found in this book. - ○ Text that: - was in italics is enclosed by underscores (_italics_); - was in bold by is enclosed by “equal” signs (=bold=). - - - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK DAFFYDOWNDILLY AND THE GOLDEN -TOUCH *** - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the -United States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
