One day, a number of soldiers came marching through through the forest, and found Androcles. They took him prisoner and brought him back to the town and he was condemned to death because he had fled from his master. Now it used to be the t he custom to throw murderers and other criminals to the lions. And on the appointed day, he was led forth into the arena. The emperor of Rome was in the royal box that day and gave the signal for the lion to come out and attack Androcles. But when it came out of its cage, and got near Androcles, what do you think it did? Instead of jumping upon him, it rubbed up against him and stroked him with his paw. It was of course the lion which Androcles had met in the forest. The emperor summoned Androcles Androcles to him. So, Androcles told the emperor how the lion showed its gratitude for his having relieved it of the thorn. Thereupon, the emperor pardoned Androcles and ordered his master to set him free. While the lion was taken back into the forest and let loose and enjoy freedom once more. Page 2 of 8
