Summary: A worthy lesson, taught with intelligence and taste
Comment: All of the Adventures in the Book of Virtues center around stories from many cultures and sources that illustrate a common pronciple. The animation itself is basic, but the storytelling is done with style and respect for the original source. Though this episode is typical of the entire series, I particulary like this one because, in a medium that often pushes instant self-indulgence, a message that presents a different point of view is like a breath of fresh air.

Editorial Reviews:
|
When Zach's preoccupation with earning money spirals out of control, it prompts him to throw a furious tantrum at home. Plato and Aurora help Zach draw parallels between his own behavior and that of King Midas in "The Golden Touch," whose desire for gold becomes an obsession; and Ghengis Khan in "The King and His Hawk," who suffers terrible consequences after losing his temper. The penalties of impatience depicted in "The Magic Thread" leave Zach with an appreciation of the Ecclesiastes poem, "For Everything There is a Season."
