HAPPINESS

Once upon a time there lived a king ,whose name was Midas.
Midas was very fond of gold, he loved it better than anything else in the world except his daughter Delia.
Midas spent the days counting his money.
One day a wizard named Nandan appeared in front of him and said:”Midas, you are the richest man in the world. You have everything you can wish for.But are you really happy?”

No I am not. I shall never be happy until everything I touch becomes gold.”
“I can make a spell to that your hands touch becomes gold.
Think whatever you want it or not, ”said Nandan.
….

Think:
What was his favourite activity?
What was the meaning of happiness for Midas?
Predict what happened next…

Money, money
1 penny, 2 pennies, 3 pennies, 4 pennies, 5 pennies
Make a … nickel.
6 pennies, 7 pennies, 8 pennies, 9 pennies, 10 pennies
Make a … dime.
2 dimes and a nickel make a …quarter.
And 4 quarters make a … dollar
And a dollar is 100 cents each time.
Let’s go faster …
