The Age of Fables

King Midas

King Midas was very greedy

One day

farmers brought an old man

Your majesty

we found this old man in the streets

What should we do with him

Isn’t this

Dionysus’ stepfather

Hmm

prepare a feast

We should serve him well

A few days later

Dionysus visited King Midas

Thank you for helping

my stepfather

I will grant you one wish

One wish

Hmm

let everything I touch

turn into gold

Are you sure

Well

a promise is a promise

Your wish is granted

King Midas decided to try

his new magic power

What will I touch first

How about this branch

The branch turned into gold

Wow

It really works

This is great

I will be the richest man

in the world

I am now the richest man

in the world

Let’s celebrate this day

King Midas ordered his servants

to prepare a feast

Soon a huge table with

lots of food and drinks

was prepared

King Midas soon had a problem

I’m thirsty

I’m going to drink this

But as he touched a glass

it turned into gold

Oh my

Why don’t you try this bread

your majesty

But as he touched the bread

it also turned into gold

Oh no

Everything is turning into gold

I can’t eat or drink anything

King Midas went to see

Dionysus

Dionysus

please forgive me

and change me back

I was too greedy

Go to the river

and wash your body

Midas went to the river

and washed

Soon

his magic power went away

King Midas was

never greedy anymore

Apollo and Daphne

Apollo was an archer

One day Apollo saw Eros

shooting arrows

Eros

Arrows are not toys

A child like you

shouldn’t play with them

But I can do magic

with these arrows

Wait and see

Eros flew up to the sky

He saw Daphne nearby Apollo

I have an idea

I’ll shoot this lead arrow

and this gold arrow

This is going to be fun

The lead arrow

made people hate

The gold arrow

made them love

Ouch

What is this lead arrow

Ouch

It’s a gold arrow

What’s going on

Suddenly

something strange happened

Who is that beautiful woman

Apollo tried to reach Daphne

But Daphne started

to run away

Leave me alone

No don’t run away

I am in love with you

But I hate you

Leave me alone

Apollo followed Daphne

but Daphne ran and ran

Daphne was too tired to run

She stopped

and prayed for help

Please help me Father

Help me hide from that man

Then suddenly

Daphne started to change

into a tree

Maybe now

you will leave me alone

I don’t care if you’re a tree

Apollo hugged

and kissed the tree

If you can’t marry me

please be my tree

From now on

I’ll make a crown

with your leaves

Only the winners

shall wear that crown

It is a laurel tree

that Daphne turned into

The crown

the winner of

the Olympics wears

is made by the leaves

from this laurel tree
