greedy king who got the power to turn

everything he touched into gold i'll be

right back

wow boy if i were that king i want

everything i touch to turn to meat

[Music]

that would be so cool

that would be so weird

here we are mama lionel thinks it'd be

cool if everything he touched turned to

meat oh you do do you lionel

well maybe this book will change your

mind it's called king midas it's an old

greek myth that is retold and

illustrated by karen kukalakis

a long time ago in a distant land called

greece a king named midas hello

lived with his daughter zoe who was a

very smart kid

kid kid kid

king midas was a very kind but kind of

kooky king what does cookie mean

unusual daddy very unusual

oh

the thing that the king liked to eat

most for breakfast was a kettle of

kumquat kebabs with kale and kidney pie

covered with ketchup

this is a kumquat it's a kind of fruit

and this

is a kumquat kebab a kebab is food that

is cooked on a stick

this is kale

it's a leafy vegetable

mama you're such a well-prepared reader

thank you leona

yum

yuck he also loved to pet his perky dog

kirk he would play his kazoo and dance

with him to the music of bazookies

but the one thing king midas loved more

than anything was his king-size stack of

gold i love you stack of gold oh

oh

he's never learned that hugging his gold

is dangerous

oh

his daughter zoe would give him a kiss

to make him feel better

thank you daughter dear that made me

feel much better

oh

one day a very powerful man named

dionysus came through king midas kingdom

and decided to grant him a wish

oh wish you're gonna grant me a wish you

don't have a problem with that no no

problem at all king midas did not think

for long i wish everything i touched

would turn to gold

are you sure that may not be such a good

idea

you said i could wish for anything all

right

dionysus kept his promise and granted

king midas his wish when you wake up

tomorrow everything you touch will turn

to go

cool

the king awoke at the cr*ck of dawn

eager to try out his new powers

he touched his kazoo and it turned to

gold

it's gold he touched his skateboard

it's gold gold gold gold gold gold gold

gold king midas thought this was the

greatest thing in the world

until he tried to eat his breakfast

kettle of kumquat kebabs with kale and

kidney pie covered with ketchup yum i'm

starved

[Music]

it's gold

oh

he went to pet his perky dog kirk and he

turned to gold too

kirk

boy

no

no longer could he pet or dance with him

king midas was so upset that he couldn't

keep back his tears when his daughter

saw him crying she went to give him a

kiss to make him feel better

oh

daddy

no

no

don't come near me no

oh no now even my daughter has turned to

gold

dionysius

what what oh great dionysus please undo

my golden touch that was a very stupid

wish i made please

dionysus agreed to undo the wish but

only if king midas promised to forsake

all his gold

forsake that means give it up

oh i will i'll forsake all my gold i

promise in no time everything that had

been turned to gold began turning back

to the way it was

oh daughter

oh kirk

oh kettle of kumquat kebabs with kale

and kidney pie

covered with ketchup

i'll never wish to have the golden touch

again

yo

let's all dance to the bazookies

now knowing that gold was not the key to

happiness king midas danced with

everyone to the bazookies happily ever

after

the end

you see cubs sometimes it's good to be

satisfied with what you have and not be

greedy and want more yeah imagine what

would happen if everything i touched

it's called the dirty smelly king and

the author is sir hackney mackinac oh

well

yes here we go oh pictures there once

was a king a dirty smelly king a king

named king zak of hackensack

king zach of hackensack was so dirty and

smelly he was not very popular and

that's a fact

king zak hackensack asked his prime

minister

sir jack of nayak why he was so

unpopular

is my crown on backwards is my jacket

tacky what is it jack

sir jack told king zach that it might

help if he took a bath once in a while

go jump in the lake zack

so dirty smelly king zach of hackensack

jumped in the lake and took a bath

when king zak walked out of the lake he

was no longer dirty and smelly and he

was very popular

king zach go back and suck is no longer

dirty and smelly he is clean and

not

i have a feeling that monkey's gonna be

back

[Music]

[Applause]

i jumped in the lake to get myself clean

and not so smelly so people would like

me and i would be popular

but when he came out of the lake he

stepped in the mud and his feet became

dirty um yeah so i went back into liking

highness oh yeah okay here we go now

listen to this when king zack of

hackensack got out of the lake he looked

down and saw that he was standing in the

mud

and his feet were dirty

hey

my feet are dirty so back in the lake

walked king zak of hackensack

but when he walked back out his feet

were dirty again

my feet are dirty again

so he went back in

and back out

back in and back out

back in

and back out

sir jack told king zak to relax

everyone in the kingdom had dirty feet

so it was no problem

and then

got an idea

king zak jumped on sir jack's back

from now on i will ride piggyback on you

jack

my feet will never touch the ground so

they won't get dirty

these guys should cut down on these

snacks and then one day

king zach and sir jack decided to play a

game of kick the sack

but king zak was not having fun playing

kick the sack i never got to kick this

sack

this is no fun jack

tell me about it king zak couldn't kick

the sack as long as he was on sir jack's

back but if he got officer jack's back

his feet would get black

a lack

[Music]

and just then

a man named mac invented shoes and gave

them to king zak

king zak got off sir jack's back and

played kick the sack

but king zak's feet still got dirty

three

[Music]

how come his feet got dirty why wasn't

he wearing his shoes

[Music]

they're brand new he didn't want to get

them dirty and ruin them
