Synopsis[]
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Pandora. One day, Pandora found a box. She hoped it was a present for her. Suddenly, BJ walks up and tells her not to open it. Pandora was wondering why she shouldn't open the box. BJ told her that the sign says do not open. Pandora was claiming this was her box, but BJ didn't see her name on it. BJ claimed that it could belong to someone else.
Pandora says she was going to wait by the box, and BJ reminded her not to open it. After he left, Pandora could not stop thinking about that box. Then, she got an idea. She decided to play Pop Goes the Weasel and wait. But she couldn't wait any longer. So she opened the box.
But when she opened the box, there was nothing inside. When Barney asked her what was on her face, she got a huge surprise! It turned out the box was filled with itchy blue spots! And now that Pandora had let them out, they spread on everyone!
Pandora thought if she put the top back on the box that the spots will go away. But it was too late. The itchy spots were already out. Then, Pandora heard a voice coming from inside the box. The voice said she could take away the spots if she let her out. Pandora then opened the box to find a butterfly named Hope. Hope then took away all the itchy spots off of everyone's face. As she took them away, the spots were now on Hope's wings.
The point of our story is really good. When someone tells you to wait, you really should. So learn to be patient and soon my friend, the wait will be over and it will be The End.
