Once upon a time there was a very rich king by the name of Midas. He loved gold more than anything in the world. One day a stranger approached him and granted him one wish. Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. At the time, it seemed like a wonderful wish, But, alas, all good things come to an end. One day, Midas accidentally patted his daughter Marigold and she was turned into a gold statue. After much soul-searching by Midas, the stranger reappeared and turned Marigold back into human form again. There are many other things more valuable than gold.
Marigold's new pet firefly, Flash, is the perfect companion. He's sweet and affectionate and just the right size to cuddle with. All the students at Mistress Lily's Fairy School soon grow to love him. But when Flash goes missing, Marigold is heartbroken! Will she ever find him?
