Similarities and Differences of Pandora and Orphan Boy

Today, it is a time to compare the two myths stories which are called 'Orphan Boy' and 'Pandora'. I love to compare things, stories and other kind of stuffs. There are some of the differences but most of them are similarities.
For the similarities, I found some interesting facts from the story. They both are beginning with a gift but the types of gift are different. One is bad and one is nice. They both got curiosity on the gift with a negative. Also, they didn't think before having curios to do something. In addition, the gifts both came down from the Sky and warned the main charactors about the gifts. However, as you look at the two stories, the old man and Pandora disobeyed to the others. Therefore, old man lost his boy and Pandora gave us a hopeless.
On the other hand, I have some of the differnces from the venn diagram work that I did it with Min Jae. First, there are lots of charactors in Pandora story and only two charactors on the Orphan Boy. Pandora's gift is negative which is box that has beautiful decorations on it and on the Orphan Boy, the gift is very positive for the old man and it is Kileken. Furthermore, Kileken is one of the star and Pandora is created by the gods. Last, Pandora is Greek Myth and Orphan Boy is African myth.
Over all, this two stories are telling me that sometimes the curiousity is dangerous to have in our mind.
