Androcles
(Adapted from an Aesop’s Fable)
by Gretel Laura M. Cadiong

Once there was a slave named Androcles who escaped from

his master. He went to the forest to hide. As he was walking
through the forest, he saw a lion lying down moaning and
groaning. Androcles was afraid so he immediately ran away. But
he was surprised when the lion did not chase him. So, he turned
back and went near the lion.

As he got near, the lion put out his paw. Androcles saw that
it was bleeding and swollen. He found out that a big thorn had
got into it. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the
lion. The lion rose and licked the hand of Androcles like a dog.
For several days, Androcles would go to the lion to bring him
some meat, until he got fully well.

One day, both Androcles and the lion were caught. Androcles
was imprisoned and was sentenced to be thrown to a hungry
lion. Soon, Androcles was led out to the plaza where the king
and all his soldiers came to watch how the slave would be eaten
up by the lion. Next, the lion was let loose from his den and
roared loud as it got near its victim. But as it got close to
Androcles, the lion recognized his friend, and licked him like a
friendly dog.

The king who was very surprised called Androcles. He, then,
told the king about how he and the lion became friends. So, the
king forgave Androcles and freed him while the lion was let loose
and brought back to the forest.
