The Chocolate Touch

by: Patrick Skene Catling

Have you ever eaten too much chocolate? Well, John Midas certainly has. His love for *Theobroma Cacao was so strong, that he could have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner, all day, every day! But, when he found a mysterious coin with his initials on it, was there such a thing of too much chocolate. Soon, everything his mouth touches becomes sweet and brown, obviously chocolate. It turns a pencil, a glove, trumpet, orange juice, a pure silver coin, etc. How will he stop this?

*Theobroma Cacao is the scientific name for chocolate given by the Swedish Botanist Carl Linnaeus in 1753.
