Androcles and the Lion
(Aesop)
It happened, in ancient times that a slave named Androcles escaped from his master and fled
into the forest. And he wandered there for a long time ‘til he was weary. Just then he heard a lion
near him moaning, and groaning and at times roaring terribly. And when he tried to get up, there he
saw the lion coming towards him. Instead of attacking him, it kept on moaning and groaning, and
looking at Androcles who saw that the lion was holding out its right paw which was covered with blood
much swollen. Looking more closely at it, Androcles saw a great big thorn pressed into the paw,
which was the cause of all the lion’s trouble. Plucking up courage, he seized hold of the thorn and
drew it out of the lion’s paw, who roared with pain when the thorn came out. And soon after, found
such relief from it that he ramped up against Androcles and showed that he was truly thankful from
being relieved from such pain. One day, a number of soldiers came marching through the forest, and
found Androcles. They took him prisoner and brought him back to the town and he was condemned
to death because he had fled from his master. Now it used to be the custom to throw murderers and
other criminals to the lions. And on the appointed day, he was led forth into the arena. The emperor of
Rome was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack Androcles.
But when it came out of its cage, and got near Androcles, what do you think it did? Instead of jumping
upon him, it rubbed up against him and stroked him with his paw. It was of course the lion which
Androcles had met in the forest. The emperor summoned Androcles to him. So, Androcles told the
emperor how the lion showed its gratitude for his having relieved it of the thorn. Thereupon, the
emperor pardoned Androcles and ordered his master to set him free. While the lion was taken back
into the forest and let loose and enjoy freedom once more.
