Pandora was sent to Earth by the gods as a punishment to men. She married a man and as a wedding present received a beautiful box which was not to be opened. Curiosity filled Pandora for days. She begged her husband to let her open it, but he refused. One day when he was gone, she opened the box. Death, Disease, and Pain flew out. She shut the box just in time to save Hope and Faith.
