French folk story: Goldfinger story

once upon a time, there was a king, who owned lots of land and a house full of gold and silver, and a lovely little princess, who was still unhappy.

the ministers asked, “my dear majesty, why is it not happy that you have the best things in the world” and the king shook his head and said, “although our country is rich, it is far from the next country.

they have a piece of gold, but we don't even have one.

i want a gold finger, and as soon as my gold finger touches, everything can turn into gold." the king's words were heard by the passing golden fairies, and she asked the king, “your majesty, do you really want a golden finger? can i help you to do that, but you can't regret it.” the king was very happy to say, as soon as he heard that he could have the gold finger, "don't worry, it's the biggest dream of my life.

i'll be happy with the gold finger.

how can i regret it?" so the fairies turned a king's finger into a gold finger.

the finger looks just like the ordinary finger, but the king touches the table, the chair, the plate, the wall everything he touches turns into gold.

soon, the palace was full of gold, and even the kings of the next country envy him.

the king thinks he is the richest and happiest man in the world.

one day, when the king came to the back garden for a walk and smelled a fragrance, he picked a flower.

but as soon as his hand touches a flower, it becomes a golden flower and no longer smells! looking at the gold flower, the king began to think that it was a bad day for gold, but soon he stopped thinking, he thought, as long as there was gold, i could have any kind of fragrance.

the king went to the restaurant, and the cooks had prepared a full table for him to eat.

the king who's been busy all day is starving.

he's salivating to eat.

however, when he picked up the chicken leg from the plate, the chicken leg became golden.

he wants a bite of soup, and the soup turns into gold water.

finally, the king didn't get anything。
