giving brainliest! (100pts if you answer correctly!) How would you interpret the lesson of King Midas and the golden touch for a modern-day world. What do you think the message of the story is? Do you think King Midas is a relevant story for a modern world? Why or why not? (At least 8 sentences!)

The way I interpret the story is that it is bad for Midas but he got what he deserved. I think the lesson was to not be greedy. I think another part of the lesson was think before you do or say something. I think it is relevant to now a days. I think that it is because people can be greedy. People also do things without thinking. On two last notes, If there were to occur now a days  it would be money. And, I think Midas didn't make a good choice.

the answer to the question is d. i took the test a second ago and got a 100 on it. hope this .

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
