I'm Pear,

- And I'm not (laughing)

- Today's story comes from Ancient Greece,

King Midas and the Golden Touch.

You excited Orange?

- Oh, heck yeah, as far as I'm concerned,

Greece is the word (laughing)

- (groaning) Well, the forest doesn't have any more

awful Greek puns, we can go ahead and get started.

- Thanks for the opportunity Pear, I actually have several.

What happens in Greece, stays in Greece (laughing)

Even my puns can't ruin this story time.

(laughing) (groaning)

Get it, throw it,

like your buildings that are halfway toppled.

- Yes, I get it, are you done ready?

- Not yet, go banger go homer.

That's what I always say (laughing)

(groaning)

okay, my apologies for that cheesy puns (laughing)

- That's it we're starting.

Once upon a time in Ancient Greece,

King Midas was granted one wish by the God, Dionysus.

King Midas thought about it

and decided that he wanted the ability to turn

anything he touched into--

- [Orange] Orange

- [Pear] Excuse me.

- [Orange] The leaf he touched it clearly turned orange

- [Pear] No, actually that's gold.

See, that's why it's titled the way it is.

Everything King Midas touch turned to gold.

- [Orange] You sure? looks pretty orange to me.

- [Pear] I assure you that's gold

- [Orange] Are you sure?

Cause it really seems like it turned orange

see,

- [Pear] What the? noo

Dude, this story was written 2000 years

before you were even born.

So I promise you, you are not in it.

- Nah, but putting me in the story would have made it

absolute gold (laughing)

- Respectfully I disagree, but back to the story.

So King Midas absolutely loved his newfound power.

He started touching all sorts of stuff, flowers, chairs--

- Motorboats,

- No, no motorboats in Ancient Greece on the fray.

(laughing)

- [Pear] Now then,

all was fine and dandy until it came time to eat

at dinner, everything King Midas tried to eat

turned into gold before he could bite into it.

- Oh, did he turn his carrot into 24 carat?

(laughing)

- [Pear] As a matter of fact, he did.

Same with his wine, his steak

- [Orange] His orange.

- Honestly, that's probably the best story time contribution

you've ever made, Orange.

- Aww, thanks Pear, glad to know you like my input.

I'll keep doing it (laughing)

- (groaning) after a while,

King Midas started to become unhappy with this golden touch.

But the final straw was when he hugged his daughter

without thinking.

- Wait, you mean she turned orange?

Lucky kid.

- [Pear] No, she was not lucky, because--

- Sure she was if I know orange,

and I do she was instantly the coolest kid at school.

I mean, anyone who can touch her tongue with eyeball,

is sure to be the most popular pupil (laughing)

(groaning)

- [Pear] Anyway, King Midas regretted his wish and begged

and begged Dionysus to take it back.

Eventually he did, and King Midas returned to normal

- But the things he touched didn't turn back

and they remained awesome.

- [Pear] No

- Yeah, and King Midas lived the rest of his day

surrounded by his new orange friends.

Motorboating, yang yang and causing into the end of time.

- [Pear] (groaning) This is terrible

- [Orange] Oh, and don't forget to T-N-T (laughing)

The end

(dramatic music)
