we find cliff hanger where we left him

last hanging from a cliff

can't

hold on much longer

in a never-ending quest to get off the

cliff cliffhanger is reading his

survival manual

hey what you're reading must be good oh

it is i've read it several times already

but each time i discover something new

i love to relax with a book especially

after climbing all day

do you have any stories you could read

to me sure

i have all kinds of good books

here's one

priceless gifts by shashana shankar

once there was a very sad and lonely

merchant named sheldon

he lived alone and didn't have a single

friend

table for one please

one day when sheldon was eating all by

himself he overheard a rich merchant

named sharida telling a story

last month i sailed my ship to the

kingdom of shazam

[Music]

hello king shazam

my ship's filled with great stuff

tell me what you need and i'll sell it

to you

king shazam needed shoes shower curtains

shovels shrubs and shield

but unfortunately sharita didn't have

anything in her ship beginning with sh

yo well stay for dinner anyway we're

having shrimp

[Music]

sharita and king shazam sat down to a

lavish meal

but before they could even taste the

shrimp

mice started eating everything in sight

king shazam tried chewing the mice away

[Music]

yeah baby shake it shake it

[Music]

but nothing works

have you tried getting a cat

king shazam didn't know what a cat was

he had never even seen one before

so sharita got two cats from her ship

i don't believe it they chased all the

mice away those cats are

fantastic you can have them i've got

tons of cats on my ship

king shazam was so grateful for this

gift he showered sharita in gold and

jewels

[Music]

when sheldon heard this story he decided

that he too would sail to the kingdom of

shazam

oh

if sharita got all those jewels and gold

for two cats

imagine what i'll get if i give the king

all those things he asked for

check please

[Music]

so sheldon filled his ship with shoes

shower curtains shovels shrubs and sheep

and sailed to shazam

hi king shazam i'm sheldon a merchant i

was just passing by and i wondered if

you needed anything

well what i could really use is shoes

shower curtains shovels shrubs and sheep

why yes that's exactly what i need

i've got them all right here in fact

i'll give them to you

[Music]

king shazam was so grateful for all

these gifts he said he would give

sheldon something in return

something priceless

so

will it be a hundred jewels a thousand a

million

i wonder if i'll need a bigger ship

behold your priceless gift

that's it

it's called a cat and it chases mice

it's much more valuable than all the

jewels in shazam

oh sucks

[Music]

back on his ship

sheldon was sadder than ever before he

had sailed across the world and hadn't

gotten a single jewel

[Music]

but then the cat jumped up onto his

shoulder and purred

and sheldon felt a very strange feeling

he felt happy

for king shazam had indeed given sheldon

a priceless gift

he had given him a friend

the end

and that's the end of the story

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

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 bouzouki

but the one thing king midas loved more

than anything was his king-sized stack

of gold i love you stack of gold

oh

he's never learned that hugging his gold

is dangerous

oh

his daughter zoe would give him 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

a 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

boy

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

[Music]

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
