Many years ago, there was a Greek king named Midas. King Midas loved gold very much. He had the most gold in the world, but he still wanted more.
One day, a beautiful fairy (仙子) came to his palace. “Midas, you are richer than any other man in the world,” said the fairy. “Yes,” said the king, “but I want more gold because gold is the most wonderful thing in the world!” “Your wish will come true,” said the fairy. “From tomorrow morning, everything you touch will be turned into gold.”
King Midas got up very early the next morning to see if his wish had really come true. He touched his bed with his finger and the bed was turned into gold. The king was wild with joy. He ran around his palace and touched everything he saw. Everything was turned into gold.
The king felt hungry after running around for a long time. However, as soon as he touched a bowl of milk, the bowl, together with the milk in it, was turned into gold. What’s more, the bread and the meat were also turned into gold when he touched them. In the end, the poor king didn’t eat anything.

Crooked Forest was planted in about 1930 and there’re 400 trees altogether. Trees have been bent (弯曲的) at the age of 7-10. The most interesting thing about these trees is that they are all bent towards the north.
People can see the Crooked Forest (弯曲森林) in the northwest of Poland. It’s a strange forest full of trees in the shape of the letter J. Nobody knows what happened to the trees in this forest. It remains a mystery today. Here are some ideas about the mystery.
One mystery, different ideas.
Four popular ideas about it a history event (
The mystery is cased by
) a natural phenomenon (现象)象) __▲____ aliens’ actions
One idea is that the trees might be bent (弯曲)
by the German army. They entered Poland in 1939 and did it. The trees were bent so strongly that they began to grow in such a strange way. Another idea is that the trees were weighed down by heavy snow as they were starting to grow. Other people believe that local farmers bent the trees with the purpose starting to grow. Other people believe that local farmers bent the trees with the purpose of making furniture and ships. Some people even think that the UFO might have been to the forest and done something.
Over the years, the mystery (谜) of the trees has drawn many tourists to the area. Nobody knows how the forest was created, but it has become a must-go place in Poland.
Different opinions on the above ideas.
I don’t think the trees were bent by the German army. If they really did so, why were only the trees in one part of the forest bent After all, the other trees are all normal trees. I can’t agree with the idea that heavy snow weighed down the trees. It does not explain why the other groups of trees in the same area were not affected (影响).
I support the idea that local farmers used it as materials to make ships. Because the north of Poland was famous for its shipyards(造船厂) in history. I think aliens might have ever been there. Because it’s hard for people to plant such strange trees and it’s impossible for the trees to grow naturally like this.
