Pandora had such a lovely face that Epimetheuscould not help believing that the gods had sent her tohim in good faith.
Hello My Guest
Hello?
She dropped the lid and ranout of the cottage, screaming. Epimetheus, who wasjust coming in at the door, was well stung, too.
A very long time ago, in the Golden Age, everyone was good and happy. It always sprang; the earthwas covered with flowers, and only gentle winds blewto set the flowers dancing.
Soon, the gods sent Epimetheus another gift.This was a heavy box, which the satyrs brought to thecottage, with directions that it was not to be opened.
The gods sent me a another gift to me and weird
All the Troubles escaped from the box, but whenPandora let the lid fall so hastily, she shut in one littlewinged creature, a kind of good fairy whose name wasHope. This little Hope persuaded Pandora to let her out.
She fanned aching heads with her gossamerwings; she brought back the color to pale cheeks; andbest of all, she whispered to those who were growingold that they should one day be young again.So this is the way that Troubles came into theworld, but we must not forget that Hope came withthem.
