Out of the Box

"Didn't I tell you not to open that box!" Zeus thundered at Pandora.

"I was just curious," she said as she hung her head in shame, "all I let out was hope, charity, love, kindness, and all those other things. Aren't they good things?" she asked timidly.

"Yes they are," Zeus said, "but you also listened to the last voice in the box and let it out."

"It said it was a good thing too," Pandora defended herself.

"I suppose I can't get to mad at you," Zeus said.

"What did I let out of the box?" Pandora asked.

"Deceit."
