SCENE 1 Theo is looking at Lionel's growing mane, when Leona sneaks up and pounces on him! Leona says she was just trying to jump on Theo, but Theo says that no lion can sneak up on him... just when Cleo startles him! She has found the book "Greek Myths" in some of the library's oldest books. The family reads "Pandora's Box", but before Pandora can open the box, the story abruptly ends. It turns out they have to find some missing pages to complete the story and fix it, so the cubs don't know what was in the box.
