The King of the Golden River is the story of young Gluck, a headstrong boy with two dreadful brothers who consistently mistreat him. One day, Gluck and his brothers go off to find the Golden River's source. When they do, they discover the King of the Golden River, who teaches them how to turn the Golden River into real gold. A popular children's story, The King of the Golden River dramatizes the moral that loving money more than people leads to destruction.
