Androcles and the Lion
Androcles was a slave in ancient Rome in the time of the Emperor Tiberius. One day. Androcles escaped from his
master and fled into the dents of forest, hoping to find refuge and freedom.
As he wandered through the wilderness, and ruthless came suddenly upon a fierce lion with a foreign
embedded deeply in its paw. Feeling compassion for the suffering animal, Androcles approached slowly gaining
the lion's trust. With gentle words and soothing actions, he carefully removed the thorn from the lion's paw, easing
its pain.
To Androcles surprise the lion did not attack or harm him, but rather showed gratitude and affection. The lion
became his loyal friend. Following him throughout the forest, protecting him from other wild animals and providing
him with food.
One day, Androcles was caught by Roman soldiers and brought back to the city. He was sentenced to
death for his act of escape. The day of his execution arrived, and he was thrown into the Coliseum, where a
ferocious lion was released to attack him. As the lion charged toward Andrew Glass, he recognized his old
companion. Instead of attacking, the lion approached Achilles, wagging its tail and expressing joy. The crowd
watched in astonishment as Androcles embraced the lion.
Amazed by this remarkable display of loyalty and compassion, the Emperor Tiberius spared Androcles
life and granted him freedom. Androcles and the lion became a symbol of the power of kindness and the bond that
can be developed between humans and animals. The story of Androcles and the lion teaches us that even the first
Test of creatures can show gratitude and love when treated with kindness and compassion. It reminds us of the
value of empathy and a potential for friendship that exists in the most unexpected places.
