A slave named Androcles once
escaped from his master and fled to
the forest. As he was wandering
about there he came upon a lion
lying down moaning and groaning.

At first he turned to flee, but
finding that the lion did not pursue
him, he turned back and went up to
him.He pulled out the torn and bound
up the paw of the lion, who was soon
able to rise and lick the hand of
Androcles like a dog.

Then the lion took Androcles to his
cave, and every day used to bring him
meat from which to live But shortly
afterwards both Androcles and the lion
were captured. The slave was sentenced
to be thrown to the lion, after the latter
had been kept without food for several
days.

The Emperor and all his court came to
see the spectacle and Androcles was led
out into the middle of the arena. Soon the
lion was let loose from his den and rushed
bounding and roaring toward its victim,
but as soon as he come near to Androcles
he recognized his friend, and fawned upon
him, and licked his hands like a friendly
dog.

The Emperor, surprised at his,
summoned Androcles to him, who told
him the whole story. Whereupon the slave
was pardoned and freed, and the lion let
loose to his native forest.
