2. But after some time she looked again into the box, and saw that there was  still one little creature left. It could not get out because the little creature’s wings were held between the gold edge of the box and the lid. And Pandora and  Epimetheus understood that the name of this little creature was Hope.
3. “It will be the first woman”, said Zeus. And he breathed upon the image and it lived and looked around with wonder.
4.  He now also knew what those little creatures were, and he asked Pandora if there was nothing left in the box. And she said, “No, there is nothing!”
5. “Stop, Pandora!”, said Epimetheus. “And listen to me. He who sent this box is not a friend, but a cunning enemy, and I think the box holds some evil secret”.
