Explanation:

The rising action in a story refers to the events that follow the exposition. During the exposition, we are first introduced to the characters of the story, as well as to background information. On the other hand, in the rising action, we see a series of incidents and events that begin to create tension in the story. These events build up emotion until they reach the climax.

The rising action of this story occurs between the moment in which Midas receives his wish and when he embraces his daughter (the climax). In this section of the story, Midas turns the flowers of the garden into gold. He believes this make them look better. However, his daughter is upset because she believes this makes them less special. This shows how Midas does not understand the important things in life, which moves the plot forward.
