Ans. Androcles and the Lion
Once upon a time there lived a young man named Androcles. He was caught by a slave merchant who sold him to a rich man in another country. His master was very bad and he used to torture on him. Androcles was very homesick and unhappy living with his cruel master. One day, he decided to escape. He fled from his master’s house and found shelter in a cave deep in the forest.
In the evening, a lion entered the cave. The lion was groaning in pain and seemed to be wounded. Androcles was scared at first but noticed the lion was not trying to harm him. He moved closer and saw that the lion had a large thorn stuck in its paw. Feeling pity, Androcles carefully held the lion’s paw and removed the thorn. The lion felt immediate relief and stopped groaning. Grateful, the lion did not harm Androcles.
Androcles stayed in the cave for a while but eventually decided to return home. On his way back, the people working for his master caught him. They brought him to his master, who was very angry. As punishment, the master ordered that Androcles be thrown into a cage with a hungry lion.
When Androcles was put into the cage, the lion came rushing towards him. Everyone watching expected the lion to attack him. But instead, the lion stopped and bent low at Androcles’ feet. To everyone’s surprise, it was the same lion Androcles had helped in the cave. The lion remembered his kindness and did not harm him. Instead, the lion attacked Androcles’ cruel master, punishing him for his cruelty.
This story teaches us an important lesson. In our society, there are people who can be more dangerous than wild beasts. We should be careful of them. At the same time, it shows that even animals can show kindness and gratitude, sometimes more than humans.
Androcles and the Lion
Once upon a time, there lived a youthful man by the name of Androcles. Unfortunately, he was captured by a slave merchant and sold to a wealthy man in another land, where his master subjected him to unspeakable cruelty and hardship. Androcles, consumed by homesickness, longed for a means of escape from his dire predicament.
One day, while seeking refuge in a cave, Androcles chanced upon a wounded lion, who was groaning in agony. Displaying a tremendous amount of courage, he approached the lion and took the injured paw into his hand, removing a sizable thorn lodged within it. The lion, overjoyed at the relief from pain, appeared grateful and calm in his presence. After some time, Androcles departed the cave and began his journey homeward.
Unfortunately, he was apprehended by his master's people en route, who subsequently threw him into a lion's den. The ravenous lion charged towards Androcles, but upon recognizing his savior, the animal immediately prostrated himself at Androcles' feet. In a miraculous turn of events, the lion then proceeded to break open the cage and carry Androcles away on his back, ultimately allowing him to escape the clutches of his tormentor.
In the end, Androcles' selfless act of kindness towards the injured lion ultimately saved his own life, exemplifying the notion that good deeds never go unrewarded.
