King Midas had one wish, and he wished that everything he touches turns to gold. At first he was happy, but after a bit, he regretted the wish. As he could not eat because every time he touched any food, it turned to hard gold. In the end he was very rich, but was not happy at all.
The moral of this story is obvious. Wealth is not everything, and a lot of people with wealth are not happy. Also, you should think before you act and consider consequences in the future before you act.
Many of the idioms that we use today are based on the story of King Midas. Among them include "The Midas touch" which would mean "having the ability to make alot of money."
