hi everyone this is py awakens I'm coming to you from beautiful beach California you can hear the beautiful sounds of the natural Wildlife around us the beautiful Coastal
scene I just wanted to tell you the story Cupid and
psyche now you might know who stupid was he was a beautiful son of Aphrodite the psy was a beautiful woman I was born and she was so
beautiful that nobody in the world around her could understand her everyone was afraid to approach her she was just too beautiful
and so saki thought she was pretty weird but she was actually so beautiful that the goddess heite or altim as Venus thought she was trying to compete against her or she was too beautiful to
be on this world so Aphrodite thought who is this girl trying to compete against me thinking she's so she's so much better than me I'm going to have my son put an arrow in
her and curse her to fall in love with some horrible sea monster so she will never be desired by anybody again and so she asked her son Cupid to throw an arrow in
her so that she would do that and Cupid went and he filled a couple of arrows one from the Fountain of beauty one from the Fountain of Eternal disdain and he went to go shoot SEI with one of the
arrows and he shot her with the arrow and then as soon as he did it he he saw her face and he thought what have I done this is the most beautiful girl in the world and as he said that he accidentally shot himself with one of his own
arrows and psychi woke up kind of confused and went home and later that later that day her parents went to the Oracle of Apollo and they asked what is going on how how can we save
ourselves from this
curse in the Oracle of Apollo said your daughter has been cursed to fall in love love with the ugliest most horrible man in the
world and you should just throw her off the nearest cliff and so psyche's parents held a funeral procession and They Carried SEI down the funeral
procession ready to throw her off of the earth and they did throw off of the Earth but as soon as they did a wind picked psyche up and carried her to a beautiful palace and in that
Palace there were thousands of servants ready to wait on her every whim and desire ready to bring her every food she wanted ready to change her bed ready to clean her
room ready to give her anything she wanted and so pyi was
happy but saki got a little bit bored and Saki said I miss my family I want to see my family again and so upon her wish a wind sent her right back to her home
to her family and her sisters were there and they said oh psyche where have you been we've missed you we want to see your husband he must be a horrible
man some horrible monster that's taking you captive and so SEI said no he's a beautiful man that treats me well but his sister said no he must be some
horrible monster demon that's keeping you against your will and so the next day pyi said to her sisters to go on the cliff and the winds carried the sisters to her
Palace and the sisters were treated just the same wonderful way the SEI was and fed wonderful wines and gave wonderful food and given a bed beautifully made
and so the next day sei's sisters were ridden by the wind back with her and they said psyche there there must be some horrible demon that is keeping you captive in this Palace you must see who he is and reveal him and shame him in front
of the world so her sisters flew back with the winds and SEI was at the palace she thought my sisters my sisters must be right I must have a look at this demon so psychi lit a lamp and when her husband was
sleeping she came over with the lamp and looked at him and instead of seeing a horrible monster snake Bigfoot she saw the most beautiful man she had ever seen and as she gasped she spilled some
drops on the lamp onto his shoulder and he woke up and he said saki what have you done and he flew away and all of a sudden saki found herself flowing way back to her original
home with her sisters and her dad and she said what have I done and Saki knew that she had actually fallen in love with a beautiful God and she cried she said how can I redeem
myself so she first went to the
Temple of the goddess
and she asked the goddess how can I redeem myself and the goddess said well you do not offend me you offended a different goddess so you must go to the a different goddess and amend your sins
there and so psyche went and on her way she met the god pan and she asked pan what did I do and how can I make up for my sins and pan says well you came to the
goddess of the Earth you should have went to the goddess of love who's actually mad at you and ask her what you can do to forgive your sins and SOI went to the goddess of
love who was actually Cupid's mother and she asks what can I do to redeem myself and the goddess Venus who Aphrodite who's much different than the goddess of Earth or the goddess of anybody else said oh I have a few tasks for you
to do if you want to redeem yourself first look at that bag of 1 million grains of of sand I want you to take every grain of sand and sort the white grains from the black
grains and then after you do that I have a few different house for you and so saki went and looked at the billion Cades of sand and didn't know what to do but all of a sudden some ants came to her and they said you know
what you've helped us before and we like you so we're we're going to sort the grains of sand for you and you're going to complete this task and so over the night the all the
ants sorted the white grains of sand from the black grains of sand and the next night she had even a harder task and there were turtles and rabbits involved you know but the turtles and rabbits join together and
they they help Alber ass too so aphr was very frustrated and so for the third night she said well you have to go all the way down to Hell and you have to ask the queen of hell for some of her beauty and then maybe I'll let you meet your
love so so psych was just didn't know what to do and a little bird came and told her psyche if you want to if you want to pass the test of Hell pretend you're dead put some coins over your
eyes let Chiron the canoe master of Hell take you across hell give Cerberus the hellhound a few treats and pet him and be real
nice and then maybe you'll get through to see diasis and pany who are the king and queen of hell when you see them ask very politely for her Stephanie for some of her beauty for Aphrodite she'll give you some of it in
a box and take it right to Aphrodite not do not open it do not look in it keep that box closed psyche but Sagi got you know went through hell she put coins over her eyes she pet the
dog she got to pranie pranie gave her the box of beauty but on her way back she just could not resist opening the box of beauty saying by had just a little bit of this beauty after all this crap I've been
through maybe I'll just look a little bit more attractive to my love cupin and he'll still love me and so saki opened the box but when she opened the box of
beauty a great sleep fell upon her and she went into a dark sleep
and after sleeping a long very long time Cupid flew down to her and he said oh psyche is this the thanks I get for allowing you all this love I love you
anyway and Cupa picked her up and he started flying psyche into the sky where she would become his
Queen and Saki and Cupid fell in love as king and queen and they had a child named pleasure and so this is the story of cupid and psyche and so always remember story even if you're the most beautiful
being in the world that everybody else is afraid to be in love with someday a god of love will know who you are and carry you back to Heaven I love you everyone thank you
