The Slave And The Lion

The Slave and the Loin


A Greek King had many slaves to serve him. He treated them harshly. Thus, one slave ran away. He took refuge in a cave. Soon a lion appeared there crying with acute pain. The lion had a thorn in his right foot. The slave pulled out the thorn boldly, and then the lion felt relieved. But after some time, the slave was again captured. It was ordered to throw him before a hungry lion. This was the punishment for the slaves who fled.

A public show was arranged in the arena encircled by a fence. At the proper time, the door of the cage was opened. The lion rushed out. He roared but started licking the hands of the slave in sheer gratitude. The king was at a loss to know the reason for the lion's strange behavior towards the slave. The slave narrated the story. He told him how he had helped the lion and lived with it in the cave before he was captured and ordered to be feasted on by a hungry lion. The King, on hearing this story, was very much moved and set the slave and the lion free.

The Moral of the Story is:

Kindness never goes unrewarded.
One good turn deserves another.
