2 QUESTION 1: COMPREHENSION (15 MARKS) Read the questions first, then the passage. Thereafter, answer the questions. King Midas and the Golden Touch 1 There once lived a king named Midas, who was the richest king in the world. He loved gold more than anything else on earth – even more than his daughter Marigold. 2 One day, the King was in his treasury admiring his gold, when a beautiful fairy appeared before him. The fairy's face shone with a dazzling light and her shoulders had wings on them. 3 “Midas, you are the richest man in the world.” said the fairy. “That may be,” said the King, “but if I could have one wish, I would ask that everything I touch should turn to shimmering gold.” 4 The fairy promised the king that his wish would be granted from sunrise the next day, his slightest touch would turn anything into gold. However, the fairy warned him that his wish would not make him happy. 5 Midas woke up the next morning and touched his bed. It instantly turned to gold. Delighted, the King went to eat breakfast. However, when he tried to eat or drink anything everything became hard shimmering gold. Not a thing could pass his lips. 6 When his daughter came to greet him, King Midas gently kissed her cheek. At once, she was turned into a golden statue. In his grief, he called the fairy for help. He begged the fairy to take away his gift. In order to get rid of the wish, the fairy advised

3 him to take a blessed pitcher to the spring, fill it with water and sprinkle it onto all the things he touched. This would then restore everything back to as it was. 7 He first sprinkled the water on his daughter. Instantly, she returned back to normal. The King sprinkled the golden food and it turned back to normal as well. King Midas hated his golden touch so much that he sprinkled water over everything else that the fairy's gift had turned to gold.
