| 520 | _a"Daffydowndilly and the Golden Touch" by Alpha Banta Benson is a children's story likely penned in the early 20th century. It falls into the category of classic children's literature, featuring themes of morality and the consequences of one's desires. The book weaves together the tales of King Midas, who wishes everything he touches would turn to gold, and a little boy named Daffydowndilly, who seeks to escape the responsibilities of school and toil. In the story, King Midas's greed leads him to a magical wish that turns everything he touches into gold, resulting in a tragic loss of his beloved daughter, Marygold, as she too becomes a golden statue. This transformative experience makes him realize that love and relationships are worth far more than wealth. On the other hand, Daffydowndilly is a carefree boy who runs away from school to avoid work, only to encounter various manifestations of "Mr. Toil" in different forms, reaffirming the omnipresence of hard work. Eventually, he learns that embracing responsibility and education can lead to self-discovery and fulfillment. The juxtaposition of Midas's story and Daffydowndilly's journey emphasizes the importance of valuing relationships and finding joy in life’s endeavors rather than seeking riches.
