The African myth, Orphan Boy, and the Greek myth, Pandora, warn us that curiosity can often lead to unpleasant change. In the Greek myth, Pandora, Pandora couldn't bare with her curiosity and opens the box that Zeus gave her. Therefore, all of the evil things came out and spread across the world. In the African myth, Orphan Boy, the old man couldn't bare his curiosity and follows the Orphan Boy. When trust between the Orphan Boy and the old man was gone, everything that used to be wonderful died. Because of the old man's curiosity, even water dried away and the world was left with nothing. Curiosity made a negative change in both myths. This is fascinating because many things were discovered and created through curiosity. Curiosity can lead to a positive change in the world.
