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.
