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. | |

SCENE 2

Lionel asks Click to drag the box out of the book, but she drags the word "box" out at first because Lionel wasn't specific with the instructions. Then she drags the actual box out of the book.

Click tries to drag the box back in the book, but the constant hiccuping makes it hard and Theo has to do it manually. The lions continue reading the story and find that there aren't any hiccups in the book, so the hiccup monster goes back in the book, and their hiccups are gone at last! Then the family reads the rest of the story. | |
