The Story of Pandora
The Girl Who Wanted To Peek
Pandora was a little girl that always
wanted to peek. One day Hermes came to
her house with a huge box on his shoulders.
He asked if he could leave the box at her house while he ran an errand
in the next town. Pandora agreed, but
curiously asked what was in it. Hermes
said that he could not tell her. He was
also very specific that she was not to open it.
After Hermes left Pandora sat and stared
at the box, growing more and more curious.
She could no longer contain herself, so she opened the box. When she did, thousands of snakes, lizards
and caterpillars came flying out. She
quickly shut the box, and everything disappeared.
Hermes appeared, and asked Pandora if
she opened the box. Pandora told him
the truth. “Yes, I did,” she said. “But I wish I hadn’t.” Hermes agreed that she should not have
opened the box. The millions of things
that came out of the box are the troubles that vex mankind. Toothache, tummy ache, selfishness and many
other bad things are out in the open letting everyone know what trouble
is. But, you left one thing in the box,
Hope. She will help people forget their
troubles.
So Pandora opened the box again, and out
came the little fairy named Hope who flew out the window. Hermes picked up his box, and left. Pandora never peeked again as long as she
lived. Click here for more
