There was once a greedy king called King Midas. Once he found a lamp near his castle. He rubbed it, and a genie appeared from the lamp. The genie asked the king to make a wish.<\/p>\n
The king asked the genie to grant him a wish that whatever he touches will turn into gold. The genie granted him this wish. The king was ecstatic. He could not be happier. He touched every nook and comer of his palace. Now he had a golden throne; a golden room, and even a golden bird in a golden cage.<\/p>\n
But he felt a little hungry now with all the excitement and having jumped around so much. He sat on the golden table to eat the bread, but lo and behold! The bread turned into gold as soon as he touched it. As he went about touching all the food one by one, it all turned into gold. He was confused, and just when he was contemplating what he had done, his daughter came and hugged him. He also hugged her in return without thinking, and could not believe what happened after. His daughter\u2014his dearest daughter, the one person he loved the most in the world\u2014had turned into a golden statue.<\/p>\n
He cried and cried so much that the genie appeared once again. The king begged the genie to undo the wish. The genie looked at the king\u2019s sad condition and agreed to undo the wish. Soon, everything that the king had turned into gold returned back to its original form. But what made the king the happiest was that he could hug his dearest daughter again. He had never felt so relieved and happy in his entire life.The next day, the king called all his subjects and donated all his gold among his them. He was no longer a greedy king.<\/p>\n

Tell your friends why they should also read it. \n(Encourage the students to use their creativity and formulate their own answers.)<\/p>\n
Sample answer: \nYes, I am very fond of reading stories. I read whenever I find some free time. Last week, I read a story called \u2018The Christmas Carol\u2019. It is a short story by Charles Dickens. The story is about Ebenezer Scrooge, a miser, who does not believe in love, compassion and the Christmas spirit. A day before Christmas, three ghosts visit him and make him realize the true value of love and life. After the visit by the ghosts, he understands that no one will miss or remember him unless he changes the way he lives.<\/p>\n
My favourite character in the story is Tiny Tim, who is the crippled son of Ebenezer Scrooge\u2019s secretary, Bob Cratchit. Scrooge is finally able to save Tiny Tim from a ghastly future and changes into a good human being after meeting the ghosts. I love this story because it is all about the Christmas spirit of love, compassion and forgiveness. I would . suggest that everyone should read that story because it is so touching and makes us realize the true worth of life and the people<\/p>\n
