Androclus and the Lion

is a story about a poor

slave who made a bond

with a lion in a cave.

Androclus and the Lion by James Baldwin

Let’s start

reading!

by James Baldwin Androclus and the Lion

After a while a great noise woke him up. A lion had come into the cave, and was roaring loudly. Androclus was very much afraid, for he felt sure that the beast would kill him. Soon, however, he saw that the lion was not angry, but that he limped as though his foot hurt him.

Then Androclus grew so

bold that he took hold of

the lion's lame paw to

see what was the matter.

The lion stood quite still,

and rubbed his head

against the man's

shoulder. He seemed to

say,--

"I know that you will help

me."

Androclus was not at all afraid after this; and when night came, he and the lion lay down and slept side by side. For a long time, the lion brought food to Androclus every day; and the two became such good friends, that Androclus found his new life a very happy one.

One day some soldiers who were

passing through the wood found

Androclus in the cave. They knew

who he was, and so took him back

to Rome.

When the day came, thousands of people

crowded to see the sport. They went to

such places at that time very much as

people now-a-days go to see a circus

show or a game of baseball.

The door opened, and poor Androclus was

brought in. He was almost dead with fear,

for the roars of the lion could already be

heard. He looked up, and saw that there

was no pity in the thousands of faces

around him.

Then the hungry lion

rushed in. With a

single bound he

reached the poor

slave. Androclus gave

a great cry, not of

fear, but of gladness.

It was his old friend,

the lion of the cave.

After a while they asked Androclus to tell them about it. So he stood up before them, and, with his arm around the lion's neck, told how he and the beast had lived together in the cave.

"I am a man," he said; "but no man has ever befriended me. This poor lion alone has been kind to me; and we love each other as brothers." The people were not so bad that they could be cruel to the poor slave now. "Live and be free!" they cried. "Live and be free!" Others cried, "Let the lion go free too! Give both of them their liberty!" And so Androclus was set free, and the lion was given to him for his own. And they lived together in Rome for many years.

The moral lesson of the story is

gratitude is the sign of noble

souls. People will always

remember the kindness you

showed and as gratitude they

will not harm you but rather

protect you.
