Tell me the 'king donkey ears story'.

King Midas and his donkey ears. Well, King Midas was a very greedy king. He got the power to turn things to gold by touching them. But it backfired horribly. Regarding the donkey ears, it was like a punishment for his extreme greed. He couldn't enjoy the simple pleasures of life anymore like eating or drinking because everything became gold. And the donkey ears were a mark of his downfall and his being a fool for desiring so much gold without thinking of the consequences.

The moral could be that secrets are hard to keep. Just like the king tried to hide his donkey ears but in the end, the truth came out.

The moral might be about acceptance. The king is ashamed of his donkey ears and tries to hide them. But in the end, the truth comes out, suggesting that we should accept our flaws or differences rather than trying to conceal them.

The story of King Midas having donkey ears is a well - known myth. King Midas was granted a wish by the god Dionysus that everything he touched would turn to gold. At first, he was overjoyed, but soon realized it was a curse when he couldn't eat or drink as his food and drink turned to gold. As for his donkey ears, some versions say that his barber discovered his secret of the donkey ears which grew as a sign of his excessive greed. The barber was sworn to secrecy but finally couldn't keep it and told the secret by whispering it into a hole in the ground, which then spread as reeds grew and whispered the secret to the wind.

The main character is the king who has donkey ears, and the barber. The king is the one with the strange feature, and the barber is the person who discovers the king's secret.

The moral could be that excessive greed can lead to unwanted consequences. King Midas' greed for gold was so extreme that it backfired on him in a rather strange and embarrassing way. His wish to turn everything into gold seemed great at first, but when it affected basic things like food and his daughter, he realized his mistake.

The story's moral might also be related to the power of truth. The barber who finally reveals the king's secret, though reluctantly at first, shows that truth has a way of surfacing. It implies that suppressing the truth can create a lot of inner turmoil and that in the long run, it's better to face the truth and deal with it.
