A cruel master

Long ago there was a kingdom which was ruled by a cruel master. There was extreme slavery and poverty in the kingdom. People were afraid of the master.

The master had many slaves working for him. Among them was Androcles, who was so badly treated by his master that he ran away from the master to a desert. He sheltered into a cave. One day he saw a lion with a wounded paw. It came to him limping. He saw a big thorn in its paw. He took out the big thorn. The lion was very much grateful to him and they became good friends.

Androcles and the lion were living happily in the desert till the day when he was caught by his master again. He was condemned to be thrown before a hungry lion. His master threw Androcles to a lion. But the lion didn‟t hurt him rather it laid at his feet. The master and all others were astonished to look at the behaviour of the lion.

Androcles knew that it was the same lion that he had met in the desert. When the master heard Androcles story, he felt so deeply that he pardoned Androcles and set the lion free.

Moral: If you help others you will be helped.
