Respuesta :

Answer:

King Midas likes the gold tone of his daughter's hair, which is the only thing that still pleases him about gold. This shows how depressing gold was for him, causing him to lose all admiration and greed for this metal.

Explanation:

The story of Rei Midas tells how he was in love with gold, reaching the point of asking a demon to give him the power to turn everything he touched into gold. The demon granted Midas's wish and the king was very happy, until he realized that this power was actually a curse. Midas could not touch anything, as everything turned to gold. Thus, he could not eat, could not touch the flowers and could not even touch his beloved daughter. One day, kissing his daughter's face, Midas turned her into a golden statue, making him completely unhappy. He saw how gold had been the disgrace of his life and completely despised the metal, liking only the statue that his daughter was transformed and admiring the golden gift of her hair.
