![]() The story is framed around the myth of King Midas who foolishly asked god Dionysos to make him wealth, at any cost. "God, everything I touch I want it to turn to gold." The god granted the king's request with one condition: His ear had to grow like a donkey's! The hero of the story was an ordinary person, unappreciated by family, friends and co-workers. Thinking that with money comes respect, he dreamed up the idea to proclaim that he won the Greek Super LOTTO. As he had dreamed, the miracle did happen. He became the center of attention. However, like Midas' big ears, the burden of the secret is excessive. He wants to retract the story and the results are comical and tragic.
