Let's Go!
Once upon a time...
Cupid’s mother Venus, the goddess of beauty, 
was jealous of the beauty of Psyche,
She ordered Cupid to punish her.
But instead,
Cupid fell deeply in love with her.
He took her as his wife, but as a mortal 
she was forbidden to look at him.
Psyche was happy 
until her sisters persuaded her to break the rule.
and as soon as Psyche took a look at Cupid,
Cupid punished her by leaving her. 
Their lovely castle and gardens vanished too.
Psyche found herself alone in an open field 
with no signs of other beings or Cupid.
As she wandered trying to find her love,
she came upon the temple of Venus.
Wishing to destroy her,
Venus gave Psyche a series of tasks,
each harder and more dangerous than the last.
For her last task
Psyche was given a little box 
and told to take it to the underworld.
She was ordered to get 
some of the beauty of Proserpine,
the wife of Pluto, and put it in the box 
and get back to Venus.
During her trip she was given tips on avoiding 
the dangers of the realm of the dead.
She was also warned not to open the box no matter what.
But Temptation overcame Psyche 
And eventually she couldn’t help, but open the box.
But instead of finding beauty, 
she found deadly slumber.
Cupid found her lifeless on the ground.
He gathered the deadly sleep from her body 
and put it back in the box.
At the end, Cupid forgave her, as did Venus.
The gods were all moved by Psyche's love for Cupid
and decided to make her a goddess.
The End.

Temptation overcame Psyche
